Brief summary
Communication group intervention for individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury based on INSIGHT protocol (Keegan et al, 2020) with roll playing game focus
Detailed description
Individuals with TBI recruited to participate in a study about applying INSIGHT protocol to a virtual roll playing game environment. The game 'monsters of the week' will be used to administer the cognitive-communication ingredients outlined by INSIGHT (Keegan et al 2020) and progress towards social communication goals will be documented throughout the course of participating in the roll playing campaign (7-8 weeks - meeting 2 hours each week). The individuals without neurological disorders will follow the same protocol.
