Many people with an acquired brain injury (ABI) have trouble doing tasks or taking part in activities. This is often caused by a problem with initiation (the ability to start an activity), not with motivation (the desire to do an activity). This pamphlet explains how problems with initiation may affect you and what you can do to help with initiation.
