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.
