‘Rees writes with revealing insight about the benefits of structured rehabilitation in home, school and community. Detailed case examples awaken our understanding of the effects of brain injury and of remarkable achievements post-trauma. Much needed and richly rewarding.’
Christine Durham, educator, author of Doing Up Buttons, a book about her own recovery from brain injury
‘Interrupted Lives resonates with understanding about the factors which shape and nurture rehabilitation from disabling brain injury, providing the reader with details which are challenging, informative and comprehensive, but above all practical and rewarding.
