Interventions
REBIL is a complex intervention with two essential components: (1) removing environmental barriers and home hazards in the home tailored to the participant's unique abilities and limitations and (2) strategy training with the participant to help participant to be able to identify barriers in the home and community and identify potential resources and strategies to remove the barriers. Treatment includes one assessment session and four 75-minute visits in the home with an occupational therapist over 8 weeks, followed by a 6 -month assessment session by a blinded rater.
The waitlist attentional control group will receive an initial assessment session then four 75 minute interview visits from an occupational therapy graduate assistant, followed by a 6-month assessment session by a blinded rater. After the 6-month follow-up is completed this group will receive the REBIL intervention.
