function
Impairments of emotional and behavioral control can result directly
from:
-damage sustained directly to the brain
-diflculties adjusting to deficits
-pre-existing factors

-depression is a common co-morbid condition to a brain injury
-aggression, irritability, non compliance and emotional lability are
commonly seen after frontal lobe damage
2. Principles
-important to view both cog skills and their remediation as hierarchical
Cogni-

tive rehabilitation ter-related
-basic cog skills should be addressed before higher level
-less complex treatment should supersede treatments of greater
complexity
-hierarchical approach should target attention, perception,
categorization, abstract thinking, and memory to restore/reorganize
impaired cognition

to cognition -focuses on development of strategies to accommodate limitations (ie:
planners, checklists, smart phones)
-a functional application is essential

of agitation in a behavior based manner is through environmental
