Two recent Australian studies published in the Brain Impairment Journal demonstrate that given appropriate support and targeted intervention, people with severe acquired brain injuries (ABI) do have the potential to improve.

These studies concluded that given slow-stream rehabilitation, increased role performance and community integration can be achieved by people with severe ABI, even many years post injury.

These studies provide further evidence that aged care facilities are inappropriate for young people with ABI because they do not provide the support or environment required for people to achieve their potential and participate in the life of the community.
