ABSTRACT

An active mind is something that is appreciated across all walks of life. This is nowhere more obvious than in Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) rehabilitation. It is highly valued as a good predictor of outcome. The promotion of an active mind is sought here as well as in other fields. I have had the unique experience of having an active mind both prior to my ABI and then again after. Being able to recall situations while retaining the skills to analyze and remember how the events leading to these situations transpired has been a real gift.

In this page I have tried to summarize the stages I went through as an example of how one may obtain an active mind after an ABI.
