The Challenge
Finding a meaningful activity for Charlie to engage in with OT to recognise the impact of his fatigue on the cognitive challenges and his behaviour effecting his relationship with his wife and young family following his traumatic brain injury.
The Change
Charlie was the breadwinner and head of the family. He struggled to see activities of daily living as his role after his accident. His hobby of car restoration was set up as a therapy project to increase his insight into cognitive changes & fatigue.
The Impact
Charlie became invested in the therapeutic approach using activity analysis, reflection, education and strategy development provided through the car project. His insight improved. He employed strategies. His relationships in the family improved.
