    The Indiana NDI (Neurodevelopmental Institute) Exploratory Project is an initiative that embodies a cooperative effort involving multidisciplinary experts under the auspices of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA), specifically the Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA). In our study, a total of 58 NDI clients were examined. Data was extracted from the RedCap database (Patridge & Bardyn, 2018). This enabled us to assess the potential of various patient behaviors to indicate the presence of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) using predictive models, establishing a statistically significant correlation between certain behaviors and the occurrence of TBI. A Heat map exhibiting a positive correlation between patient behaviors and TBI was shown. The data analysis indicates a statistically significant positive correlation between multiple patient behaviors and the presence of traumatic brain injury (TBI), as supported by high model accuracies. This suggests that these patient behaviors may serve as indicators of the presence of TBI and warrant further investigation. Examining the long-term consequences of TBI on behavior is essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics involved.
