Transitional Learning Center
The Transitional Learning Center (TLC) is a facility that specializes solely in post-acute brain injury rehabilitation. It was started by the foundation in 1982, in response to a brain injury suffered by a son of trustee Robert L. Moody. The center provides survivors of acute brain injury with rehabilitation services needed to help patients overcome their injuries and regain independence.
In addition to providing medical treatment and support, TLC is involved with extensive brain research programs and offers educational training programs for the medical field.
In 2005 the foundation expended $38.1 million USD towards supporting and expanding the Transitional Learning Center and its programs.
