Functional assessment of patients with acquired brain injury has become a focus in brain injury rehabilitation. Despite the Community Integration Questionnaire's (CIQ) wide usage, to date no research has been conducted to establish norms for the questionnaire's four groupings, namely CIQ Total, Home Integration, Social Integration, and Productivity (Dijkers, 2000； Willer, Ottenbacher & Coad, 1994). These clinically and theoretically significant groupings are useful for determining patient functional outcome in various domains of living (Sander et al., 1999). Though the questionnaire has established validity and reliability, without norms, interpretation of CIQ scores is skewed (Zhang et al., 2002). The CIQ, like many other measures of outcome (MOO), is influenced by demographic variables such as age at testing, gender, education, race, time since injury, type of injury (i.e. traumatic or non-traumatic), and place in cognitive rehabilitation (Schmidt, Garvin, Heinemann, & Kelly, 1995； Heinemann & Whiteneck, 1995； Zhang et al., 2002). This study establishes such norms based on a population of adults with acquired brain injuries seeking cognitive rehabilitation at the Acquired Brain Injury Program of Coastline Community College.
