My dad was given an orientation file. In it, he had to fill in his personal particulars (D.O.B, address, name of family members etc) and why he thought he was in the rehab centre. His response - I fell without my knowledge. The problem / difficulty he faces - I walk without balance.
Flipping through the file, I saw that he had 4 professionals to validate his condition; a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, a physiotherapist and a psychologist.
He was given work to do as well. Part of it he had to complete in front of them and the remainder he could do it during his free time. He was given a bunch of dots and he had to first find a specific set of shapes and then join the dots to form those shapes. He enjoyed doing that a whole lot. The other piece of work was language based; testing his ability to listen and register instructions. He first had to read aloud the instructions on the piece of paper then he had to follow what it said. This one he didn't enjoy so much.
