“…Studies indicate a dose–response association between TBI and adaptive functioning, with more severe injury associated with poorer adaptive functioning (Anderson et al, ; Catroppa, Anderson, Morse, Haritou, & Rosenfeld, ; Max et al, ; Shultz et al, ; Taylor et al, ; Treble‐Barna et al, ; Wade, Zhang, Yeates, Stancin, & Taylor, ). Longitudinal studies of children with moderate/severe TBI suggest that impairments in adaptive functioning persist over the long term, and may endure into adulthood (Anderson et al, ; Anderson, Brown, Newitt, & Hoile, ; Catroppa et al, ; Shultz et al, ; Taylor et al, ; Treble‐Barna et al, ). Among the three domains of adaptive functioning, social skills appear to be the most profoundly affected after moderate/severe TBI (Anderson et al, ; Shultz et al, ).…”
