Objective: Our objective was to ascertain the feasibility and consumer satisfaction ratings of families who received an adapted pediatric acquired brain injury (ABI) 'Signposts for Building Better Behavior' program [25] in either group-or telephone-support delivery formats.
Methods: Forty-eight families of children aged between 3 and 12 years with mild, moderate, and severe ABI completed Signposts in group (n = 23) or telephone-support (n = 25) format consisting of nine information booklets, a DVD, and Workbook.
Results: All parents approved of the skills taught and a majority felt the materials were helpful in both managing challenging behavior associated with brain injury, and teaching new skills to their brain injured child. All parents rated a high level of feasibility for all of the Signposts materials.
Conclusion: The current research has provided preliminary evidence for the feasibility and satisfaction of a family-centered parent-based behavioral intervention program called Signposts to be used with a pediatric ABI population. It also provides evidence for a less costly option of intervention delivery via telephone-support.
