Brain Injury, Concussion and Stroke Specialty Programs
Specialty Programs are intensive outpatient programs that help people make the transition from an acute-care setting to their homes, jobs and communities.
These Specialty Programs are offered at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth and are centered on a commitment to personalized care, shaped to help fit your specific needs and goals.
During program hours, you participate in therapies designed to optimize functional, cognitive and physical skills. When appropriate, therapists may go with you to your home or workplace to ease the use of the strategies and skills learned during rehab.
Family members are also considered an integral part in setting therapy goals and transferring skills to the home environment. Because these Specialty Programs recognize that brain injury affects the whole family, various forms of support such as education and counseling are offered to members of your family.
