Through the Neurotraumatology program, the client and his family receive the necessary information to understand the consequences of physical or cognitive deficits that result from a disease of trauma. Life experiences and perceptions related to the functional dimension of the child, the realized progress and the recuring effects (sequellae) are continuously and closely monitored and there is frequent follow-ups. This approach brings up the priority goals of intervention for the client and his family and encourage his participation while making the most of his personal competences.
