Creating functional change through cognition.
The Feuerstein Institute’s Head Injury Day Rehabilitation centers are outpatient facilities that provide daily treatment for individuals who have suffered a traumatic head injury resulting from accidents, strokes, cancer, and more and are dealing with various levels of motor, verbal, emotional, and cognitive injuries. The Center’s patients come from all over Israel and are referred to Feuerstein by local welfare departments, which also fund the treatment. Sponsored by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Labor, and Social Service, the centers have a unique status in the field of traumatic head injuries within Israel.
