Abstract Details

2015, Specialist in Education (Ed.S.), University of Dayton, School Psychology.
Students with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) often experience a range of behavioral, academic, social, and emotional difficulties. The present study examined the effectiveness of a psychosocial intervention, Skillstreaming, on a student who sustained a TBI and presented with executive functioning (EF) difficulties. Three students with non-TBI related executive functioning deficits and one student with a TBI participated in a five week intervention designed to improve executive functioning skills. Each student’s teacher completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) before and after the intervention period to measure the efficacy of the intervention. Results indicated that the intervention is potentially effective in improving executive functioning skills in the student who sustained a TBI. Suggestions are made for improvements to the intervention to increase the EF skills of students
