title: Missing out on post-acute rehabilitation: a single case example.
abstract: Acute care providers may encounter any number of potential traps when providing treatment to individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) who present behavioral issues. These traps, or faulty ways of viewing the patient's recovery process, may lead to mistakes that significantly impact the likelihood of successful recovery. This article, designed to increase awareness of the possible issues which acute care providers often face, will discuss four such traps, as well as illustrate a treatment approach which utilizes a non-aversive cognitive-behavioral treatment plan through the experience of one individual.
