Abstract
Background: Following TBI in childhood it is common for deficits to be seen in higher order skills, such as executive functions, both in the acute and longer-term post-injury. Despite this, very little evaluative research has been conducted with children post-TBI, particularly in the area of EF.Methods: The current study aimed to develop and implement a pilot intervention programme for adolescent/young adults (n = 3), in the chronic phase of recovery, when EF skills are no longer in a rapid state of development.Results and conclusions: Study results highlight the importance and need for accurate and relevant outcome measures that capture subtle as well as more obvious changes following intervention.
