Improving the work potential of brain-injured adolescents and young adults

Abstract:
Brain injured individuals have a unique set of skills and deficits which make them difficult to place in traditional lobs and work programs. Although they may function at a relatively high level intellectually, these individuals often demonstrate deficits in attention, motivation, memory, and social skills. A variety of strategies must be employed in assessing and developing the work potential of the brain injured individual. This paper describes a work program that has been designed to meet the unique needs of the brain injured population. Case examples are included to illustrate application of these strategies.
