Kuidas pääseb Astangule õppima?

Ootame vastuvõtu-uuringule aastaringselt tööealisi inimesi, kes on läbi elanud peaajutrauma või saanud muust põhjusest tingitud ajukahjustuse (peaajuinfarkt, ajukasvaja vms) ja nende tervislik seisund on aktiivse taastusravi tulemusel stabiliseerunud, kuid esineb:

• mäluprobleeme,
• raskusi keskendumisel,
• kõneprobleeme,
• meeleolu kõikumist,
• peavalu, väsimust, unisust,
• raskusi igapäevaelu tegevustes.

Taastumiskursus kestab 9 kuud ja alustab iga aasta septembrist. Taastumiskursuse eesmärgiks on toetada inimese naasmist aktiivsesse ellu: tähtsal kohal on oma võimete tundmaõppimine, iseseisvuse suurendamine ja ühiskonnas uute rakendumisvõimaluste leidmine.

Vastuvõtu-uuringule võib tulla aastaringselt!
Täpsem info on kodulehel (http://www.astangu.ee/?op=body&id=70) ja küsimustega võib pöörduda psühholoogi ja rühmajuhendaja Kätlin Traksi poole katlin.traks@astangu.ee

Parimate soovidega,
Evelin Kohtla

Endel Tulving Eesti Päevalehes

artikkel ise siin (http://www.epl.ee/artikkel/485209)

esimene supervisiooon Tallinnas toimus 10.11.2009

esimene grupiviisiline supervisioon oli 10.11.2009, kohal oli kokku 7 inimest (Piret, Heivi, Natalja, Sirje, Liina, Kätlin, Evelin), kellest 2 kutsega neuropsühholoogi. Rääkisime täidesaatvate funktsioonide neuropsühholoogilisest rehabilitatsioonist ja arutasime Pireti ja Natalja juhtumit. Oli tore.
