Abstract
Accessibility is a general term used to describe one's ability to be able to perform. This project aimed to outline the issues that people with brain trauma experience and how that creates hardships for the individual. Activities were highlighted that we may not consider to be a privilege, but rather showcase that even simple tasks, like reading the time, can make their workout sessions extremely difficult. Before this internship project, cognitive and physical abilities were only documented, but resolutions were assumed. Now, there will be a section in patient charts that will include accommodations for participants who need more accessibility aid, not just during fitness sessions but for the entirety of their time at the facility.
