| Popis: | Adapting leisure activities is sometimes required for adults with neuropsychological deficits following acquired brain injury. Such adaptations are illustrated through a brief review of relevant literature and case vignettes describing both group-based and individual intervention provided within a holistic milieu-oriented neuropsychological rehabilitation programme. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of cognitive deficits on a person's ability to engage in their desired activities. The personal meaning and psychological adjustment to injury is considered a crucial factor when considering adapting activity. The article will conclude with implications for clinical practice in other settings. |
