Dakota Alpha and Brain Injury Education
Introduction
Family members often say, "no one understands" what it is like having a family member with a brain injury. Shock, fright and bewilderment are common reactions during the medical and emotional crisis of brain injury.
This material was put together in an effort to provide information and encouragement to the resident, families and caregivers who provide support and services to individuals with brain injuries and other cognitive disabilities.
Philosophy and Goals
At Dakota Alpha we believe in a person-centered approach, simply stated that: "every human being has something of value to contribute and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of age or cognitive ability."
We create a positive environment with control and choice in which the resident develops goals that help the resident gain confidence to master his/her own life. We expect that the resident will experience pitfalls, surprises and successes during the course of daily life.
