What is
No Limits Eastern Shore?
We are so glad that you asked! NLES is a nonprofit brain injury services provider which operates the day program No Limits. Our mission is to improve the lives of adult survivors of brain injury on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Our program is supported by state general funds administered by the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services, as well as generous private donations. Here at No Limits we help survivors of brain injury to be as independent, as physically integrated, and as socially included as possible in the community while encouraging them to engage in meaningful productive activity. We don’t believe in “busy work”, we’d rather be “busy working”! We follow a “use it or lose it!” approach to skill recovery and skill maintenance for brain injury survivors. We do this by maintaining an ongoing schedule of activities, organized into 5 unique categories, that are designed to develop and strengthen the skill areas that are commonly impacted by a brain injury. To see examples of the types of activities that we have to offer please turn to page 2! To learn more about us in detail please visit our website at www.nolimitseasternshore.com!

No Limits is a day program for adult
survivors of brain injury. We opened in
3/01 but since 9/12 we have been
operated by No Limits Eastern Shore,
a locally based nonprofit organization.
At No Limits we adhere to the core
values of independence, integration,
inclusion and productivity...or as
founding participant Maggie Byrd
described it:
We are deeply saddened to announce the
passing of our Board Member Jean Kranich
of Onancock, VA. Her kind heart and keen
mind will be greatly missed. Rest in peace,
Jean, and thank you for your service.
