It also focuses on the populations referred for neuropsychological rehabilitation is offered: adults with non-progressive and progressive conditions, children with traumatic brain injury and other conditions, people with disorders of consciousness, psychiatric disorders and other conditions seen for rehabilitation. The chapter deals with recent and emerging issues in neuropsychological rehabilitation: fatigue; sexuality; music therapy; novel forms of rehabilitation such as computer-based cognitive retraining and non-invasive brain stimulation; and new technologies, including digital technologies, technology-based delivery of services, and social robotics. Neuropsychological rehabilitation is available from acute hospitalisation through inpatient rehabilitation to outpatient and post-acute care, with maintenance plans for those requiring episodic interventions throughout the life span. Neuropsychological rehabilitation relies on the development of a shared understanding of the client's formulation and rehabilitation plan, to be shared by the rehabilitation team, the client, the family and any other relevant parties.
