The first stage of this project will evaluate the appropriateness of an emotional processing intervention modified for a pediatric population. The researchers will modify the intervention prior to the evaluation by the 15 typically developing children.~The second stage of the project will evaluate the effectiveness of an emotional processing intervention to improve performance on tests of emotional processing in individuals with TBI. Emotional processing includes both facial affect recognition and social perception measures.
Investigating an emotional processing program, that is modified for use with children, is effective for children with a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
