Acquired brain injury (ABI) describes damage to the brain that
occurs after birth, caused by traumatic injury such as an accident
or fall, or by non-traumatic cause such as substance abuse, stroke,
or disease. Today's medical techniques are improving the survival
rate for people of all ages diagnosed with ABI, and current trends
in rehabilitation are supporting these individuals returning to
live, attend school, and work in their communities. Yet strategies
on the best way of providing community participation vary among
rehabilitation experts. Because many of survivors of ABI do not and
will not return to the status quo of their former lives it is
important to examine what constitutes best and promising practices
in this area. This casebook is the world's first compilation of
evidence-informed programmes that foster community participation
for people of all ages with brain injury. With this review, the
authors elicited and carefully examined existing programmatic
efforts that combine emphasis on the individual, the social, and
the service systems in a way that captures community participation
as a complex process of interactive change in the
person-environment relationship - programmes that do not divorce
ABI survivors from their contexts, and where participation efforts
facilitate positive change in the social and political context.
They considered community-based programmes to be programmes where
individuals and families actively participate in their own therapy
(rehabilitation) and take responsibility for their own health or
that of a family/community member. Each case study chapter depicts
a programme chosen on its extraordinary merits to provide community
participation to its clients. The chapters are cowritten by the
stakeholder and a researcher, giving a complete perspective of how
the programme was established and continues to operate, and
provides evidence of excellence.
