Q: What makes Anchor different from other rehab providers?
A: Implementation.

We don’t just write plans.

We ensure they are followed consistently across environments.
✔ Behaviour Analysts provide oversight
✔ Rehabilitation Therapy Assistants deliver in real-world settings
✔ Teams collaborate with OTs, lawyers, and physicians

Because consistency is what drives measurable outcomes.

The conversations happening at G.R.I.T. 2026 are the conversations that matter.

What makes this conference so meaningful is the depth of expertise, lived experience, advocacy, and clinical insight being brought together in one space. From rehabilitation professionals and researchers to survivors, caregivers, and community leaders — this event reflects the true complexity of acquired brain injury recovery.

We’re honoured to share that Stacie Dertinger will be joining by Jane Savage from Clear Water Integrated Health to present at this year’s conference hosted by the Brain Injury Association of London and Region.

Their presentation:
“A Practical Framework to Explore S*xual Dysfunction Patterns and Predictors in Individuals with ABI: Rehabilitation Strategies”
This important discussion highlights a topic that is often under-addressed in rehabilitation, while offering practical, compassionate strategies that support individuals navigating recovery after brain injury.

This year’s lineup is incredibly impactful, featuring sessions on:
• persistent headaches after TBI
• caregiver navigation and burnout
• cognitive-communication changes
• peer support and mentorship
• workforce re-entry
• AI and innovation in brain injury care
• women and motherhood in recovery
• functional vision and neuro-rehabilitation
• resilience, identity, and transformation after injury

These are the conversations that continue to move rehabilitation forward.

We’re proud to support events that bring together collaboration, education, and advocacy for the ABI community.

Brain injury doesn’t always present the way people expect.

It can look like:
– resistance
– lack of follow-through
– emotional dysregulation

But often, it’s impaired executive functioning.

At Anchor, our focus includes:
✔ decision-making
✔ safety awareness
✔ emotional regulation
✔ community reintegration

Because real recovery isn’t just physical—it’s functional.

05/29/2026

“Non-compliance.”

It’s one of the most commonly documented terms…
and one of the most misunderstood.

In complex TBI and behavioural cases, what looks like resistance is often something else entirely:
• Cognitive overload
• Impaired executive functioning
• Communication breakdown
• Emotional dysregulation

When we mislabel the behaviour, we miss the opportunity to treat the cause.

At Anchor, we take a different approach.

Our model brings Registered Behaviour Analysts and Rehabilitation Therapy Assistants together—so what’s assessed clinically is actually implemented consistently across real-world environments.

That means:
• Behaviour is interpreted through both a rehab and behavioural lens
• Therapy plans don’t sit on paper—they show up at home, in the community, and in daily function
• Documentation reflects what’s actually happening, supporting informed clinical and legal decision-making

Because when you see the full picture… outcomes change.

For OTs, case managers, and legal teams working with high-complexity files—this is where collaboration matters most.

If you’re navigating a case where progress feels stalled, we’re here to support.

Most rehabilitation plans don’t fail because they’re wrong.

They fail because they’re not implemented consistently.

For individuals with traumatic brain injury, progress doesn’t happen in a clinic alone. It happens:
– in the home
– in the community
– in the moments no one is documenting

At Anchor, we bridge that gap by pairing Registered Behaviour Analysts with Rehabilitation Therapy Assistants—ensuring plans are not only created, but carried out in real life.

This is where outcomes change.

We’re proud to share that Stacie Dertinger from Anchor Rehabilitation Support Services and Jane Savage from Clear Water Integrated Health will be presenting at the upcoming Hamilton Health Sciences Brain Injury Conference taking place this week on May 28th and 29th.

Brain injury rehabilitation requires more than symptom management — it requires honest conversations, family support, emotional understanding, and practical strategies that address the realities individuals and caregivers face every day.

Stacie and Jane will be presenting two important sessions during the conference:

Thursday at 10:15 AM
“Let’s Do More Than Talk About S*x: A Practical Approach for Rebuilding Intimacy S*xually Following TBI”

Friday at 11:15 AM
“Navigating Grief and Loss: The Impact of Acquired Brain Injury on Family Dynamics and Support Mechanisms”

These conversations are deeply important within the ABI community and reflect the need for rehabilitation approaches that support not only the individual, but the relationships, caregivers, and family systems surrounding recovery.

We’re honoured to contribute to discussions that continue to move brain injury rehabilitation forward through education, collaboration, and compassionate care.

Healing doesn’t always look like big breakthroughs.
Sometimes, it looks like a quiet moment of reflection.

After a brain injury or during times of emotional overwhelm, having space to process thoughts, experiences, and reactions is critical.

At Anchor Rehabilitation, reflective support is built into the care we provide—helping individuals:
• Process what they’re experiencing
• Build insight and self-awareness
• Develop coping strategies that feel realistic and sustainable
• Navigate the emotional impact of injury and life changes

These moments may seem small, but they are foundational to long-term recovery and well-being.

Because progress isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s found in the pause.

05/22/2026

After a TBI, life doesn’t just “go back to normal.”
There’s a process—one that requires patience, structure, and the right support in the moments that matter most.

What people don’t always see are the daily challenges:
• Managing fatigue
• Processing information
• Regulating emotions
• Rebuilding routines that once felt automatic

And that’s where the work begins.

At Anchor Rehabilitation, we meet clients where they are—at home, in the community, in real-life situations—supporting them step by step as they rebuild independence and confidence.

Because recovery isn’t just about what happens in a session.
It’s about what happens in everyday life.

If you’re an OT, case manager, or legal professional supporting someone post-injury, we’re here to collaborate.
