Abstract
It is essential for the neurorehabilitation team to project survivor/family needs beyond their current status, and begin to lay the groundwork for next steps. The outpatient team must identify community/work reintegration options such as competitive employment, vocational training, or volunteer work, and begin working toward those goals while the client is still in rehabilitation. Postdischarge medical and psychosocial supports must be identified and discussed with the survivor/family, along with education regarding the importance of developing community-based support systems, in order to maintain health and wellness once formal rehabilitation services have ended. The value of structured day programming is highlighted in this chapter.
