The primary focus is meeting the individual's needs.  The small size of the program allows High Five Center to specifically tailor activities around the unique needs of the individuals receiving care.

Group and one-on-one interactions address the brain injured survivor's quality of life by providing special programming to improve and maintain interpersonal contact.  The contact is essential to the development and emotional well being of participants.

Socialization is a basic premise of all activities.  Many survivors of brain injury have very little contact with individuals other than their direct caregivers.  Regular and varied interpersonal contact is essential for growth.
