| Program Goals
INDEPENDENCE AND REINTIGRATION |
The overall goal of Waldee Services is to provide assessment and rehabilitation services which enable clients to improve their independence and quality of life by maximizing responsible self-direction and effective functioning within the community. Waldee Services focuses on independence, community reintegration and long-term support and intervention for individuals and families who have experienced traumatic brain injury. |
| The Community Based One-to-One Model |
Waldee Services takes a comprehensive approach to understanding disabilities and uses a community-based service model of cognitive and psychosocial rehabilitation for individuals who have experienced brain injury. The emphasis is always on goal oriented practical application involving the actual tasks, activities and behaviours that each individual must deal with in their own lives over the long term. A comprehensive approach means that cognitive, behavioural, emotional and social aspects of disability are considered along with others in understanding the condition of and social aspects of each client. A community-based service model means that our rehabilitation services are provided in the community settings in which clients live, work and play. |
