[humanser] Director of Residential Services?

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning, Mary and others,

         I don't know if my experience exists beneath the umbrella of 
RT, perhaps not, but at age 19 I received some tramatic brain damage 
and during a 6-month hospital stay, the PT' had therapy sessions both 
in a swimming pool and on an exercise bike. Have a feeling though, 
that these therapies served other functions unique to brain injury. 
Someone with more knowledge of this, hopefully, will stand and be counted?
