Communication group intervention for individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury based on INSIGHT protocol (Keegan et al, 2020) with roll playing game focus

Individuals with TBI recruited to participate in a study about applying INSIGHT protocol to a virtual roll playing game environment. The game 'monsters of the week' will be used to administer the cognitive-communication ingredients outlined by INSIGHT (Keegan et al 2020) and progress towards social communication goals will be documented throughout the course of participating in the roll playing campaign (7-8 weeks - meeting 2 hours each week). The individuals without neurological disorders will follow the same protocol.
