Who We Are

Whom We Serve

Neurological impairment or brain injury can result from a variety of incidents such as automobile accidents, falls, strokes, tumors or disease.

Following acute care in a hospital setting, an individual is often expected to return to his or her previous lifestyle, work or school. However, due to the long-term effects of their injury, such a return is not always possible. In such cases HIRRS works with individuals to take advantage of previously learned skills, rehabilitate areas affected by injury or train new skills and abilities so that the person is successful in their community.

In considering admissions, HIRRS reviews the individual's capacity to benefit from services. In most circumstances individuals admitted to HIRRS are adolescents or adults, are medically stable and are capable of attending a community based program. In some cases, HIRRS is able to serve individuals who have not had a documented brain injury, but would benefit from the services the agency provides. HIRRS reviews each case in order to determine the services that will best serve the individual. HIRRS also assists individuals in determining and locating funding sources, if necessary.

HIRRS, located in Rockville Maryland, works with individuals from the Washington D.C. Metro area.
