How We Help

RBS's are consistent, steady rehabilitation support in the youth’s daily life in all environments (home, school, community). 

The RBS is available to the youth wherever the youth requires support and is able to complete transitions from one environment to another seamlessly (e.g. home to school).


RBS's are also able to support the family/care providers by modeling strategies for success. They integrate all of the RHCP’s goals into functional activities allowing for better carryover and generalization within the youth’s life. This allows for greater success with activities of daily living, leisure and school/work, decreasing the impact of impairments, promoting independence and improving general well-being.
