Every year approximately 1.4 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and it is estimated that 5.3 million Americans are living with a permanent TBI-related disability. Additionally there are 4.7 million Americans who are affected by stroke each year. These statistics make brain injury the second most prevalent disability in America.

Community Transitions is the only brain injury rehabilitation facility of its kind in the state of South Dakota. We are a non-profit agency and provide community-based service at affordable prices with an experienced professional staff. We provide a wide range of supports including: cognitive therapy, counseling (both individual and group), community living training, employment training and placement, as well as individualized case management. Basically, we work with people in all areas of their lives because we know that a brain injury does not just affect a person's thinking. It impacts all areas of their lives.

Community Transitions bridges the gap between traditional rehabilitative therapy and a successful return to community living. Our program addresses the whole person, based upon evaluations and assessments to determine the specific needs of each individual.  Clinical studies have shown that holistic rehabilitation improves overall community functioning in people with brain injury.*

Community Transitions provides quality services for individuals with brain injury and assists each person to maximize his or her abilities.  We continue to provide cutting-edge therapy and in 2008 we began offering therapy via telerehab for people who are unable to attend our program in person.  This has allowed us to bridge the geography gap of South Dakota and beyond.

Thanks for visiting and we look forward to serving you.
