title: Context-sensitive cognitive-behavioural supports for young children with TBI: a replication study.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To replicate an investigation of the effects of a multi-component cognitive-behavioural intervention on the challenging behaviour of two young children with growing behavioural concerns after TBI.
  
  
  METHODS
  Single-subject reversal designs used to document the effects of the combined behavioural, cognitive and executive function intervention on the following dependent variables: frequency and intensity of aggressive behaviours, amount of work accomplished.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two young children with escalating behaviour problems after TBI.
  
  
  METHODS
  Integrated components of positive behaviour supports, cognitive supports (e.g. graphic organizers) and an executive function routine (goal-plan-do-review).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Reduced frequency and intensity of challenging behaviours; increased quantity of work completed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Positive replication of previous single-subject experiments demonstrating the potential for successfully treating behaviour disorders in young children with TBI using a support-oriented intervention that combines behavioural, cognitive and executive function components.
