HM2003: Brain Injury and Returning to Employment - A Guide for Practitioners
The multi-disability nature of acquired brain injury and its complex effects make the return to employment particularly problematic. This book provides a clear overview of the cognitive difficulties associated with brain injury and discusses how people affected by it can prepare for and remain in employment.
Japp offers effective
occupational techniques to address impaired memory, attention and
executive functions, and difficulties with organization and planning

acquired brain injury. He also examines the environmental, emotional,

a range of solutions to these problems, including mentoring relationships
with colleagues.
