Abstract
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of most common causes of acquired disability in developmental age. The clinical approach to this pathology is a complex task requiring specific professional skills and a multidisciplinary work both during assessment and rehabilitation. The authors describe the main steps of this approach (see flow-chart). Furthermore, a list is provided of the goals of rehabilitation and the rehabilitation techniques which allow to achieve these goals.
