The Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS) will open a new 20,000-square-foot clinic in Plano, Texas, offering comprehensive brain injury rehabilitation services for patients in winter 2025-2026. The facility represents the organization's fifth location in Texas and demonstrates a strategic response to increasing regional healthcare demands. According to the Brain Injury Association of America, 2.9 million Americans visit emergency departments annually due to traumatic brain injuries. In Texas specifically, 144,000 individuals sustain a traumatic brain injury each year—averaging one every four minutes. More than 381,000 Texans live with a disability resulting from brain trauma, representing approximately 2% of the state's population.
CNS CEO David Harrington noted the clinic's location in one of North Texas's fastest-growing regions, emphasizing the organization's commitment to providing high-quality post-acute care to North Texas and neighboring states like Oklahoma. The new Plano clinic will offer advanced rehabilitation services, including comprehensive programs in vision, neurobehavior, cognitive retraining, speech, physical, and occupational therapy. Specialized technologies such as the ZeroG® Gait and Balance System and Bioness Integrated Therapy System will support patient recovery efforts. Notably, three of CNS's existing clinics have received accreditation from the Behavioral Health Center of Excellence, underscoring the organization's commitment to exceptional applied behavior analysis services.
The Plano facility will be strategically located near the Dallas North Tollway, providing convenient access for patients and families seeking specialized brain injury rehabilitation. The clinic's approach includes individualized and family counseling, reflecting CNS's holistic treatment philosophy. Patients will also have opportunities to participate in cutting-edge brain injury and stroke research, potentially contributing to broader medical understanding of neurological recovery. As brain injuries continue to pose significant healthcare challenges, CNS's expansion represents a critical development in providing specialized, comprehensive rehabilitation services for individuals recovering from traumatic and acquired brain injuries.
