Dr Claire McGrath spells out the roles of a Neurophychologist, who performs testing and development of a recovery Road Map, and a Rehabilitation Phychologist who focuses on helping the brain injury survivor cope with the emotional, social and physical changes after a brain injury.  I loved the idea that the Neurophychologist's evaluation gives survivors a benchmark so they can qualitatively see their improvement over time.  The evaluation also gives their care team a comprehensive look at the areas that need attention creating focused rehabilitation plans.

The greatest message here is that Dr. McGrath (and her team at Bancroft) believes suvivors should be proud of their hard work, grit and determination, it inspires them.   "Opportunites for growth comes from those low points".
