๐กLetโs clear up a common misconception.
Many people misunderstand what a brain injury actually is. A brain injury is not the same as an intellectual or developmental disability. Instead, it occurs when the brain is damaged by trauma or a medical event, such as a fall, car accident, stroke, or lack of oxygen.
Because the brain controls so many functions, the effects can impact memory, speech, movement, emotions, and behaviorโand every personโs recovery journey looks different.
During Brain Injury Awareness Month, NeuLife Rehabilitation is committed to sharing accurate information, raising awareness, and supporting individuals on their recovery journey. Weโre also helping raise funds for the important work of the Brain Injury Association of America, which provides education, advocacy, research, and resources for those affected by brain injury.
The more we understand, the better we can support one another. ๐
