| San Francisco Neuro-Rehabilitation™ (SFNR) helps people who suffered a stroke or brain injury with resulting hemiplegia (paralysis) through neuro-rehabilitation techniques in the San Francisco and San Mateo Counties in California. Our vision is to see that people who have hemiplegia live a fulfilling life through reacquisition of skills and/or acquisition of new skills that will make them function in their current or planned environments. Our NEURO-IFRAH Certified® therapists, Amer and Maria, in the NEURO-IFRAH® Approach for our Adult Stroke or Brain Injured clients with hemiplegia (an approach authored by Waleed Al-Oboudi, MOT, OTR/L - founder of the NEURO-IFRAH®Organization) will strive to increase their independence with their Activities of Daily Living. San Francisco Neuro-Rehabilitation™ was brought about by the need for more functional type of treatments to address stroke and brain injured people with hemiplegia in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially those who no longer being seen for any type of therapy after their insurance coverage has elapsed. SFNR will provide the needed therapy to patients who are no longer seen as rehabilitation candidates by third party payers. We have now added some other occupational therapy services, and now able to offer Home Health OT Services, Hand Therapy Services, Driving Evaluation & Treatment (Clinical), and Golf Therapy/Rehabilitation Services. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- San Francisco Neurorehabilitation™/Amer de Juan Occupational Therapy Services ADMINISTRATION: AMER DE JUAN,OTD (Cand.),OTR/L(HTC/PAM) - Owner/Executive Director Doctor of Occupational Therapy (Cand.), Creighton University -B.S. in Occupational Therapy, San Jose State University -A.S. in Occupational Therapy, Sacramento City College -Advance Practice Certification in Hand Therapy (HTC), CA Board of Occupational Therapy -Advanced Practice Certification in Physical Agents Modalities, California Board of Occupational Therapy -Ladder II Mentor for Positioning, Fall Reduction and Pain, Peoplefirst Rehabilitation's West Region (San Francisco Area) -Golf Therapy Training, Clemson University, South Carolina -Hand Therapy, Work Capacity Evaluation, Functional Capacity Evaluation, and Pre-Vocational Evaluation Experience -Driving Evaluation & Treatment (Clinical) -Assistive Device Training & Consultation -Don Bosco Technical Institute (Electronics) -NEURO-IFRAH Certified® for Adult Stroke & Brain Injury with Hemiplegia Treatment MARIA CARMELA DE JUAN, BSOT, OTR/L Office Manager/Director of Clinical Services -NEURO-IFRAH Certified® for Adult Stroke & Brain Injury with Hemiplegia Treatment -B.S. in Occupational Therapy, San Jose State University -Lowell High School, San Francisco, California Both of the above are experienced and with advanced training in stroke and brain injury rehabilitation. _____________________________________________________________ Our Home Health Practitioners: Lisbeth Dominguez, OTR/L - Occupational Therapist Helen Louie, OTR/L - Occupational Therapist AnnaLouie, RD - Registered Dietitian Edan Yee, PT - Physical Therapist Lyndon Dominguez, PT - Physical Therapist Lucy Kilbridge, PT - Physical Therapist Marites Machate, PTA - Physical Therapy Assistant Mervyn Singzon, PT - Physical Therapist Beata Rzepka, MS, CCC - SpeechTherapist Aileen Romero, MS, CCC - Speech Therapist Lisa Vuong, MS, LCSW - Clinical Social Worker Richard Ng, LCSW- Clinical Social Worker Lisa Storer, MS, CCC, - Speech Therapist, IMPAQ Tim Mencio, PT - Physical Therapist Consultant Ryan Carmona, PT - Physical Therapy Consultant ______________________________________________ NEURO-IFRAH® Instructors: Amer de Juan,OTD(C),OTR/L,HTC,PAM,Neuro-IFRAH Instructor® Ryan Carmona, PT, GCS, NCS (Texas),Neuro-IFRAH Instructor® Ryan Carmona, PT, GCS , NCS is a Neuro-IFRAH® Specialist, Neuro-IFRAH Instructor® and Faculty member of the Neuro- IFRAH® Center in La Jolla, CA.
