METHOD: Cross-sectional, secondary analysis of data collected as part of a larger research project.

RESULTS: N = 44 children with TBI. Analysis revealed statistically significant correlations between child participation, family functioning, and child characteristics.

CONCLUSIONS: School-aged children with TBI might experience chronic participation restrictions, associated with challenges in family functioning. Professionals can support children with TBI and their families through follow-up services that include a focus on family-based interventions to better support long-term outcomes for this population.
