Abstract

Background and Aims: Challenging behaviours have been reported as most detrimental in community re-integration following ABI. Service providers are unable to meet support needs, and family care givers (who often take on the primary support role) are ill-equipped to manage behaviour changes in community settings. The current study aims to shed light on current strategies utilised by families, and reach consensus on best practices in supporting family care givers to better manage challenging behaviours following ABI.
