- Describe techniques for improving attention and the steps involved in carrying out interventions for external memory strategies in children with brain injury
- Describe common evidence-based visual and motor interventions used in children with brain injury
- Describe specific strategies for structuring interventions for awareness, executive functioning, and behavioral/emotional self-regulation
