Individuals with acquired brain injury, with a variety of cognitive and emotional challenges, face unique obstacles while trying to navigate a complicated process in the justice system. This poster presentation is designed to create a better understanding of ABI and the related challenges experienced by these individuals. This poster explores executive functioning deficits that affect one’s ability to process conversations, retain critical information, and make logical decisions. In addition, we have provided practical strategies that professionals can use to provide support to individuals with ABI.
