How We Can Help
When it comes to brain injuries, developmental disabilities, and mental disorders, no two people are the same. In fact, the effects on the same person can change from one day to the next.
At Journey Rehabilitation and Behaviour Therapy, our team provides assessment, consultation, and treatment services that are tailored to help our clients as well as their families navigate the system and build both confidence and independence.
We specialize in treating people with
- Acquired brain injuries
- Developmental delays
- Psychological disorders
- Neurological disorders
- Psychiatric disorders
- Dual diagnoses
Neurological disorders and disabilities are caused by damage or injury to the nervous system—the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves that connect them. This can have an impact on energy levels, movement, speech, memory, behaviour, and how people express their thoughts and feelings.
Behaviour therapy is an action-based treatment that focuses on how behaviour is influenced by a multitude of variables (i.e., social, emotional, physiological, environmental, etc.). We work closely with psychologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists; and using a number of different approaches, including those listed below, to create an individualized therapeutic approach for each client.
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) use positive reinforcement to encourage skills and modify how someone responds to their environment. The objective of ABA and IBI is to enable useful behaviours and reduce those that could be harmful.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy (mental health counselling) that considers the thoughts and feelings that influence how someone responds to a given situation. We use cognitive therapy to help build resilience, through things like problem-solving skills to help cope with stressful situations, or tools to help manage or channel emotions.
Social Learning Theory combines the positive reinforcement of ABA with the mental aspects of CBT to help people learn in a more social context. It’s based on four requirements—attention, retention, reproduction (repetition), and motivation—that enable people to learn by observing and imitating the behaviour of others.
Play Therapy uses different types of play—like toys, pets, games, or art—to help people, especially children, improve social skills, build mental and emotional strength, and encourage psychological wellbeing.
Rehabilitation therapy is provided by an unregulated support worker who follows the rehabilitation goals prescribed by a regulated healthcare professional, such as a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, speech language pathologist, social worker, or psychologist.
Working as a Rehabilitation Support Worker allows you to provide the client with both the intensification and repetition which enables them to optimize their rehabilitation goals and therapeutic intervention.
