Acquired Brain Injuries (ABIs)
-
An acquired brain injury (ABI) refers to any damage to the brain that occurs after birth and is not hereditary, congenital or degenerative.
-
The consequences of ABI can vary widely, encompassing physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioural domains.
-
These challenges can be temporary or permanent, often disrupting a person’s ability to manage daily tasks, maintain employment, and engage in social participation, thereby necessitating long-term rehabilitation, ongoing caregiver support and the implementation of compensatory strategies such as assistive technology.
