Behavioural Therapy
After a brain injury, once the urgent medical issues have subsided, family, friends, and co-workers find that changes in the individual’s behaviour are the most difficult to understand and accept. Difficulties such as anger, lack of motivation or follow-through, impulsiveness, and difficulty problem-solving and learning more adaptive behaviours form barriers with a successful re-integration into the family, community, workplace, or school.

Behavioural Therapy Services
After a brain injury, once the urgent medical issues have subsided, often the most pressing concern for family, friends, teachers, and co-workers, is the behaviour of the individual. The injured person finds that their struggles with managing their behaviours often form the biggest barrier to returning to their previous lives. Family members and associates find that changes in the individual’s behaviour are the most difficult to understand and accept.
Does the individual demonstrate:
- anger or aggressiveness
- lack of motivation or follow-through with plans
- impulsiveness leading to unsafe behaviours
- difficulty staying organized
- difficulty remembering things
- difficulty problem-solving and learning more adaptive behaviours
Do these difficulties form barriers with:
- a successful re-integration into the community
- a return to work or school
- successful family and social relationships
- furthering independence
Behavioural Therapy Services from DMARehability can help the individual:
- manage their behaviour across environments including the home, workplace, or school.
- develop and implement memory and organizational strategies
- improve their social skills
- develop their functional independence to improve self-confidence and lighten the burden on family and other caregivers
