This threw me for a while since I couldn't find any Piqua in Australia.

PIQUA — The Rehabilitation Center for Neurological Development, 1306 Garbry Road, Piqua, has announced a new, free program, the Older Adult Intensive Rehab Program, for people with brain injuries.


Participation in the program will help people to maintain or regain a level of independence. The program serves adults who are 55 or older, have been diagnosed with a brain injury, have no insurance or have exhausted their insurance benefits for rehabilitation services and need to continue rehab activity. Clients enrolled in the project will engage in the services three days per week for an eight-week period. These services may include neurodevelopmental exercises, vestibular exercises, perceptual and language training and aquatic therapy. By the completion of the program, each client should gain improvement in one or more areas, including upper and lower body strength, balance, coordination, focus, concentration and overall neurological organization.


“This is a unique opportunity for individuals with a brain injury to participate in an effective rehabilitation program regardless of insurance limitations, no insurance or limited income,” said Carla Bertke, executive director. The program is supported through grants from the Stouder Memorial Foundation, CareSource Foundation, the Ohio State Eagles and others.
