What We Do
The Acquired Brain Injury Behaviour Community Outreach is for individuals with behavioural challenges as a result of an acquired brain injury (ABI). The individual’s condition also interferes with their ability to meet goals and interact safely with others.
The service helps clients, family members, and caregivers learn to regulate behaviours that appear after sustaining an acquired brain injury. Common behavioural issues include anger, aggression, eating problems, anxiety around specific tasks, and re-learning personal care skills.
Outreach behavioural rehabilitation are provided in the clients’ home. Using principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis, we work with clients who have sustained an acquired brain injury to learn skills that help them meet their goals while extinguishing interfering behaviours. Behaviour analysts work with clients, family members, and other caregivers in clients’ homes and workplaces, including residential and long-term care facilities.
Eligibility Criteria
Clients are:
- Adults between 18-65 years of age
- Medically stable
