• Assessment of, and intervention for behaviours of concern.
• Cognitive-Behavioural assessment of, and intervention for emotional disorders (e.g. anxiety and depression).
• Assisting clients to adjust to their ABI and its impacts in order to set goals to enable them to participate in their community.
• Education for clients, families, and carers regarding the outcomes of the ABI, and how best to support and respond to an individual’s needs.
• Teaching clients, families and carers skills to enhance management and remediation of ABI issues, based on psychological principles.
