title: The TBIIM.
abstract: This article describes an intervention model for occupational therapists who treat individuals with traumatic brain injury. The model moves occupational therapy intervention beyond traditional skill acquisition in the clinical setting to the promotion of role function in the client's community environment. Concepts from the Model of Human Occupation, phenomenology and neurorehabilitation are integrated to provide the therapist with a set of guidelines for life-long intervention with individuals with traumatic brain injury. A case example is used to illustrate the model and implications for treatment and research are discussed.
