Setting the standard for excellence in Rehabilitation Support Workers since 1988
Providing direct therapy, transitional support and community integration to children, youth, adults and seniors recovering from an acquired brain injury and/or serious trauma. We specialize in supporting individuals who are exhibiting complex, moderate to severe behaviours.
Because Experience Matters
With over 30 years of service delivery we have access to the most comprehensive pool of experienced Rehabilitation Support Workers in the Province of Ontario, ensuring the very best match between the individual requiring support and the Rehabilitation Support Worker.
Culture and Language
We offer Rehabilitation Support Workers that speak over 25 languages: Akan, Ashanti, American Sign Language, Cantonese, Croatian, Dutch, Egyptian, Fante, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hausa, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Mandarin, Philipino/Tagalog, Polish, Portugese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Tamil, Twi, Urdu, Ukrainian, Yoruba.
Services
We offer clients and practitioners a variety of service choices and benefits to enable the client to achieve the very best recovery possible. We prepare and support the client in dealing with the challenges of his or her own environment. This includes identifying and understanding how the client’s behaviour – and their family’s reaction to the behaviour – has been affected by the trauma, and helps them to effectively deal with the emotions that can impede rehabilitation.
Community
Our Rehabilitation Support Workers provide direct therapy and transitional support to individuals who exhibit social, emotional and/or behavioral difficulties which may prevent them from a successful re-integration into the community. Service is delivered in the hospital, client’s home, community, school or workplace. Our approach focuses on the functional and cognitive remediation needs of the client.
Our Rehabilitation Support Workers implement programs under the direction of a regulated health care professional and receive ongoing support from our highly experienced regional Service Directors. Services are flexible, client-directed and reflective of the goals and needs of the individual.
Post settlement
This service is designed to provide cost-effective support to the individual in maintaining the gains they have made and to address ongoing psychosocial/emotional and behavioural issues. The service can be delivered in the community, at home, school, work or in a long-term care facility.
Vocational
Our Rehabilitation Support Workers are available to vocational assessment and rehabilitation organizations to assist and support individuals who are experiencing obstacles in returning to work, or retaining work after an accident, illness or other major life event.
