Summary

The purpose of this study is to test an on-line intervention for families of young children who have experienced moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous interventions were not designed to address the needs of young children with TBI, and feedback revealed a desire for more examples and materials appropriate for families of younger children. This project builds upon the investigators previous research by modifying the online intervention content to address the needs of young children with TBI. The goal of this project is to develop an intervention that will encourage positive parenting behaviors, improve child behaviors, and reduce parent distress and burden following TBI. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention group will exhibit more effective parenting skills as well as better child functioning and lower levels of parental distress at follow-up than will the active comparison group.

BEHAVIORAL

Internet-based Interacting Together Everyday: Recovery After Childhood TBI

Families in I-InTERACT will look through 10 web-sessions (like chapters) and participate in 10 family meetings focusing on education about traumatic brain injury, parenting skills, communication, behavior strategies, and stress management. Meetings will be conducted in their home using a computer hook-up with a trained therapist. Families will also be contacted two times per month by the counselor to discuss individual problems or concerns.

BEHAVIORAL

Internet Resources Comparison

Families in the IRC group will receive computers, high speed internet access, and links to brain injury information and resources. The resources are available for families to access as often as they choose.
