| Summary: | This study evaluated the effectiveness of a group cognitive skills training model. Thirty-three clients with traumatic brain injury participated in the group over a one year period. Their vocational rehabilitation rate was compared to that of a baseline condition of 64 matched clients who receive similar services but who did not participate in the group. The results indicated a 76% rehabilitation rate for those clients who participated in the group. Fifty-eight percent of the baseline clients returned to work. A description of the group activities is presented that can be implemented by virtually any facility. |
