Little work has been done in delineating cognitive remediation approaches for pediatric survivors of head injury. The use of a cognitive remediation approach is described in a case study of a 16-year-old male, who was 11/2 years post severe traumatic brain injury. Specific techniques and treatment course are outlined to demonstrate the model offered as one meeting the unique needs of the pediatric survivor. This model emphasizes a behavioral, individually tailored approach with clear delineation of a functional academic skill goal of competence in mathematical computation. Results indicate accomplishment of goals and some generalization of skills obtained to a math domain that was not the major focus of the remediation attempts.

Key words: cognitive remediation; pediatric head injury; basic math skills; rehabilitation; compensatory strategies.
