Case Study Report For: A 25 Y/O Male With A Tbi (Traumatic Brain Injury)
Assessment Tool
The assessment tool that I will be using for this client is the symbols tool which includes the
Glascow Coma Scale. The Glascow Coma Scale is found to be the most common scoring system
when describing the levels of consciousness in a client with a TBI. This scale will help determine
the severity of the brain injury. Not only that, but this test is also reliable and objective when it
comes down to recording the initial level at which the client is at after their brain injury.
Strengths/Weaknesses of Client
Strengths:
• Attending a VA outpatient support group to address some of his emotional issues
• Has a mother who is understanding and simply wants the client to address his issues
• 60% connected for VA disability benefits
Weaknesses:
• Poor motivation
• Isolative
• New bad habits
Objective 1.0: Identify at least 3 leisure activities that the client enjoyed before the
injury.
Objective 1.1: Client will choose 1 leisure activity 3 days a week to participate in, for at
least an hour.
Objective 2.0: Client will learn coping skills to control his emotions.
Objective 2.1: Client will start journaling at least twice a week until emotional progress
is shown.
Treatment Plan
In the client’s treatment plan, the goals/objectives I will be addressing first are, Goal/Obj. 1.0-
1.1, uplifting the client’s motivation to participate in leisure activities in which the client enjoyed
before the TBI. By doing so, the client is expected to participate in 1 leisure activity, 3 days out
of the week for at least an hour. This will get the client back to their past routines and interests.
Treatment interventions that I would recommend for this client in Recreation Therapy are audio
therapy, which can be done at any moment of the day/week. Therefore, the client is welcome to
practice this treatment on their own. Nutritional modifications to break bad habits is another
treatment intervention that the client will face. Changing one’s diet has shown to boost their
mood/energy. This will take place 5 days a week, for at least 2 weeks. At the end of the 2 weeks,
I will assess the clients progress by creating a survey that the client will complete before the 2
weeks start, and then when they end. This will help me measure, record, and compare the client’s
progress. If no change is shown, modifications will be made to improve client’s well-being.
