Interventions for Behavioral Problems

Behavior change is difficult for any individual to accomplish. The process, however, can be infinitely more difficult for those who suffer from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to physical, cognitive, and emotional impairments associated with an injury. Successful reintegration into the community and return to activities of choice is often dependent on the individual’s ability to modify maladaptive behaviors that may result from the injury. Behavioral challenges that frequently require intervention following brain injury include aggression, disinhibition, difficulty relating to others, and a host of other behaviors.
