Case Study: Will Traynor by Cameron Sanders

Will Traynor

 I just completed a neuro note on the movie Me Before You,  but after the discussion about Cameron's case study I was reminded of an important key to occupational therapy. The main take away I got from this particular case is to always remember that each client's situation is going to be different with SCI. Will has goals that may be different from other clients and it's important to focus on his specific goals.

Neurological Aspects of Occupational Performance 4/5/17

My first experience with traumatic brain injury was in high school when a close friend's dad was in a horrible motorcycle accident.  He was in a coma for months while we all tried to remain positive that he would survive.  He miraculously came out of the coma, although he had a long road ahead of him.  After an extensive rehabilitation period, he was able to return home.  This was an important experience for me as I saw first hand not only how a TBI affects the person, but how it affects the family and the importance of support from community and health care professionals.
