I am advocating for a young man who was in a car accident 1 year ago on 1/28/13. He is currently at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Ga with a diagnosis of TBI and DAI mild/moderate.

He is in out patient with release date early in March. I will try to summarize what I know about his condition:
1. He is unable to walk. He exercises for an hour or two on a quadriciser, has been doing some walking in therapy, is awaiting surgery to release Achilles' tendons in his feet to help with learning to walk again. What have other done to promote walking?
2. His talking is slow and vocals are not loud. What therapies have been successful for you?
3. His head is tilted and I know there is some muscle stiffness.
4. He has a lot of pain, but I don't know specifically where the pain is.
5. I don't know if he has had any psych tests and what his measurements were.
6. He has vision problems which I believe he is receiving therapy for.
7. This family is desperate for help in advocacy for treatment with insurance company. Does anyone have experience here.
8. How do you keep up with latest technology and therapies for these patients.
HELP!!! Once I get more specific info I will post it but any info now would be so appreciated! Thank you. Beth
