Abstract
Child brain injury often results in problems with behavioural regulation (Anderson et al., 2006; Beauchamp et al., 2011). While many other chapters in this book are relevant to this area, this chapter is a detailed guide for the clinician working more intensively with an individual child and the system of people regulating them. We start from the position that behavioural regulation is associated with specific brain networks and that injury to the brain affects these networks. We also take the position that behavioural regulation difficulties occur within social systems (within families, schools, peer groups and in the community).
