Summary

This was the first trial of a new intervention, Collaborative Interpersonal Strategy Building with Audio Reflection (CISBAR), for improving social communication in adults following brain injury. When developing CISBAR, I aimed to provide speech-language pathologists (SLPs) with an integrated package for goal-setting and treatment of social communication after ABI by combining motivational interviewing and goal attainment scaling with evidence-based treatment elements drawn from social cognitive and conversational coaching approaches. To elicit the targeted communication behaviors, CISBAR adds a new system of selecting equivalent conversation topics. To foster self-awareness and reflection, CISBAR incorporates the Conversational Rating System for ABI (CoRS-ABI). I used a single-case experimental, multiple-probe design across participants to evaluate CISBAR.
