The rehabilitation process at Hegau Jugendwerk considers the patient's physical, emotional, social and vocational needs and requirements. To ensure the success of the process, Hegau Jugendwerk relies on a team of neurological rehabilitation specialists, therapists and nurses, who work with the patient and his/her family to set individualized treatment plans and goals. In addition to providing specialized medical and neuropsychological care, Hegau Jugendwerk offers a broad range of therapies, rehabilitative activating nursing and social pedagogical care.

Upon admittance to the Hegau Jugendwerk, each patient receives a complete diagnostic work-up, and his/her medical status is established. Then, under the guidance of the attending physician, the rehabilitation team meets to develop a tailor-made rehabilitation program for the patient. Depending on the needs and abilities of the patient, the rehabilitation program may include physical therapy (to improve movement, prevent or decrease weakness caused by lack of use, manage spasticity or pain, and maintain a range of motion, gait and balance), activation and recreational therapy (assistance with activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, bathing, using the toilet, handwriting, etc.), swallowing and speech therapy, music therapy, work and occupational therapy and neuropedagogical training (or cognitive rehabilitation therapy), which aims to improve cognitive impairments, such as problems with concentration, attention, memory and poor judgement. The content, scope and goals of the patient's rehabilitation treatment program are reviewed and evaluated in regular case management meetings with the interdisciplinary team and the parents/primary care providers.
