Quest
This programme helps individuals who have acquired brain injury to achieve greater independence and integration in their community. The programme focuses on providing supports in improving quality of life, making independent and informed choices and exploring support networks and opportunities in the community. Students will also be facilitated in exploring further community, training, educational, care and employment opportunities in accordance with their individual goals. The Quest model promotes the ability of clients to achieve their goals in collaboration with the Quest team. This approach ensures the service is tailored to the needs and goals of individual students and family and addresses these holistically and in a non-prescriptive way. Rehabilitation is implemented through the combined efforts of people with ABI, their families, communities and formal services and is offered through a variety of instructional methods.
The programme, where appropriate, features the International Computer Driving License (ICDL).
