Are Behavior Modifications with Traumatic Brain Injuries Difficult to Learn?
from:Behavior modifications with traumatic brain injuries are slightly different from behavior modifications for children with ADHD, depressed individuals or those that are mentally retarded. Before one can correctly set up a plan of behavior modifications with traumatic brain injuries, it's important to understand the effect that traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
People are not born with traumatic brain injuries, even though they may be born with brain damage. Traumatic brain injuries develop because of an accident or a blow to the head. Although each individual case is different, the most common characteristics include:
• Difficulty with reasoning, thinking or logic
• Difficulty with focusing and paying attention
• Slower at responding, reacting and completing tasks
• Inappropriate social behaviors
• Difficulty remembering
• Physical limitations
• Difficulty learning
• Often confused with work that is in their grade level
• Some will have language and speech problems
It is possible to set up effective plans for behavior modifications with traumatic brain injuries. It is important that each individual be treated differently and based on their own individual needs. Although there are many characteristics of traumatic brain injuries, some may be more or less severe than others may. This needs to be taken into consideration when setting up a plan for behavior modifications with traumatic brain injuries.
The patient or student needs to be evaluated as to what he is capable of successfully doing and what is unreasonable to expect. Never set the child up for failure. Start with what you know they can accomplish successfully to avoid frustration, which may lead to failure in the future. When working on behavior modifications with traumatic brain injuries, many professionals will write up an individual education plan for each patient or student. The goals for all patients should be realistic, attainable, measurable and challenging.
The individual education plan must be geared towards what the patient can do with his limitations. At times, they may seem overwhelming and out of reach for the patient or student, which is why it's important to start with small things that can be completed. Patients with traumatic brain injuries will be evaluated by many doctors and psychologists prior to being put on any kind of behavior modifications. The results of the tests and evaluations will determine how kind of behavior modifications should be used on the patient.
As with all plans, behavior modifications with traumatic brain injuries should be flexible and reevaluated at every few weeks to see if they need adjustments or changes. This is the best way to ensure their success.
