Abstract
We present a case which favors returning to work despite higher brain dysfunctions such as attention disorders, memory disorders, and nerve fatigue. We believe that occupational therapy interventions which incorporate seamless cooperation from medical institutions and job assistance agencies will be beneficial to such patients. We examined the effect of workplace support using a sheet for job assistance. To do this, we analyzed the periods of both absence and income security and collaborated with job assistance institutions while simultaneously improving vocational readiness. In addition, training was provided before returning to work, and duties were redesigned based on the job assistance sheet. The patient returned to work with a change in his job tasks. Occupational therapy intervention was necessary to formulate a reinstated plan from a comprehensive perspective regarding information on returning to work, vocational readiness, job assistance, and the functions of job assistance agencies. We also found that redesigning duties using the job assistance sheet would help support the workplace.
