MindWorks is committed to hiring top-quality rehabilitation professionals
to provide brain injury services. All our staff has completed a
post-secondary program in rehabilitation service provision and engage
in continuous learning and professional development. Our staff is
the most highly trained rehabilitation support personnel in the
field. In addition, we have an office that is staffed Monday to
Friday during business hours to meet your needs.
In all our interactions with the client, we use
a life skills development approach. This means that in all our interventions
we attempt to develop, to whatever extent possible, the problem
solving and life-management skills of the individual to enhance
their future independence in new situations. For those individuals
for whom such an approach is not possible, we work with family and
other natural supports to develop their ability to provide the long-term
guidance and supports such individuals require.
Our Support Personnel have a diploma or degree
in one of the following:
- Psychology
- Rehabilitation Assistant
- Recreation and Leisure
- Occupational Therapy Assistant
- Physiotherapy Assistant
- Education Assistant
- Career Counsellor
- Child and Youth Worker
In addition, all staff must possess a certificate
or diploma in their discipline as well as the OBIA/Brock University
Level One (four day certificate training program) and Level Two
training. All staff participate in our specialized inservice training
and development programs that includes theoretical and hands-on
training in behaviour management techniques, computer skills and
communication to name a few.
