Description
GOALS is an evidenced-based treatment method for cognitive rehabilitation that targets executive functioning by focusing on two main components: regulation of distractibility and the application of learned skills to self-made goals. GOALS treatment approach has been implemented to assist veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their resulting cognitive-communication disorders.
