Acquired Brain Injury Care
Click here to start/stop our audio presentation:
An Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is any type of brain damage that happens after birth. They can be caused by trauma, substance abuse or disease. Damage to the brain can result in temporary or permanent impairments to physical, intellectual or emotional functioning – or to all three. Regardless of the cause, helping a person with an ABI can be a challenge.
