Description

Rehabilitation services help people of all ages improve and maintain their independence if they have an injury, illness, disability, or chronic disease that affects their ability to function.

There are four main types of rehabilitation services:

• Physiotherapy – helps restore and maintain mobility and physical function

• Occupational therapy – helps develop physical, cognitive, sensory, developmental, and/or psycho- logical skills for living independently.

• Speech language pathology – helps overcome and prevent communication problems in language, speech, voice and fluency.

• Audiology – helps detect and evaluate hearing loss as soon as possible, and recommend treatment. Rehabilitation services are available in NWT regional centres and through community outreach clinics. Contact your Community Health Centre for more information and/or referral.
