Physical disability

URFI is a place that hosts those requiring physical rehabilitation and medical care interventions. These individuals, whose diagnosis presents significant and persistent physical incapacity, because of a motor impairment, will improve their abilities through participation, as well as, the support of a specialized multidisciplinary team. URFI is a living environment that provides a physical and social setting maximizing the individual’s recovery of essential skills for the purpose of a gradual and optimal return to their current activities.

The program for access to environmental control and enhanced/alternative communications (PACECAA) aims to compensate and promote independence for individuals with physical disabilities (motor or language) and that have difficulties with oral or written communication or control of their environment with technological aids.

The objective of this program is to make the individual as independent as possible while travelling in a personal vehicle and to move safely in order to encourage their full social integration. The program ensures that the person is able to access the vehicle, load their mobility aids and drive safely. It is divided into four components: driver licence, driver evaluation, driver evaluation with adaptation and passenger adaptation. This is for any person who qualifies for the CRDP or has limitations in a motorized vehicle in connection with a physical impairment.

This program is for people of all ages who have a motor disability following an accident resulting in cranio-cerebral trauma, serious orthopedic injuries or traumatic spinal cord injury.

The main pavilion of the CRDP also has three specialized places where equipment and facilities provide specialized services. The clients of the different programs have access to a therapy pool, gymnasium, as well as evaluation, physical therapy and developmental spaces.
