Development of individual treatment plans at CNS is a team effort. Each treatment plan is based upon an exten-sive evaluation of the client’s medical history and current level of function. Representa-tives
from all therapeutic areas contribute to creating the overall treatment plan.
CNS believes relearning skills lost to brain injury is best accomplished through real-life experiences in realistic surroundings. The overall goal is to re-establish the rhythm of living disrupted by the injury. In that way, skills relearned are easily practiced in daily life. The client works steadily
towards successful re-entry into the community.
CNS clients live in comfortable, furnished apartments within the community, separate from the clinic.
Clients apply newly acquired skills in home-like settings, and re-establish familiar daily rhythms of living. For example, rather than being served meals in a cafeteria, clients practice basic meal planning and preparation skills by preparing their own meals with the guidance of experienced therapists.
