About this trial

Provision of interventions that address cognitive and emotional problems faced by Veterans with history of TBI pursuing community reintegration is an important concern for VA. Using telerehabilitation, the current project will help determine whether goal-directed training of attentional control functions via personally relevant activities will improve community integration for Veterans with history of TBI and cognitive difficulties. Findings may guide rehabilitation training towards providing services to maximize success in attaining complex functional goals in which Veterans can engage in skill strengthening 'where they are' (any location).
