What is a Concussion?

A concussion is a brain injury caused by a sudden movement to the head that disrupts normal brain function. Not all concussions involve an impact to the head, and very few cause even momentary unconsciousness. Concussions are often associated with contact sports, but can also occur in motor vehicle accidents, household and recreational falls, non-contact sports, and other activities.

Driving can be an important part of gaining greater independence. At Origami, our Driver Rehabilitation service features a state-of-the-art driving simulator and behind-the-wheel evaluations in our specially equipped vehicle used for on-the-road evaluations and training. Origami’s team can assist at various points within the driver rehabilitation journey. Whether it be learning to drive with a disability, returning to driving after an injury, or reassessing driving safety in aging adults.

We love seeing our youngest clients achieve their goals. We specialize in neuromuscular and orthopedic diagnoses, vision diagnoses, mental health conditions, speech, language, oral motor conditions, and more.

A common goal for many of our clients is to successfully integrate back into the community in the form of employment, school, training and volunteering. We offer services to help clients meet vocational and pre-vocational goals.

Our vocational services address all aspects of successfully returning to productive activity. We work on job skills, interests, and identifying strategies and reasonable accommodations.
