Article

It is widely acknowledged that children recover differently from
adults following traumatic brain injury. The impact of neurological injury in the
context of developing skills and changing expectations of behaviour requires a
developmental approach to rehabilitation that considers children's abilities
across home, school and community environments. This article aims to
provide an overview of the impact of executive deficits on everyday functioning
and to review information about intervention strategies that support long term
development of skills. CONCLUSIONS: While individual disciplines are
not directly referred to in this paper, input from a comprehensive and
co-ordinated interdisciplinary team is crucial to understanding and reducing the
impact of executive deficits on functional performance.
