PDF-(BOOK)-Assisting Survivors of Traumatic Brain Injury: The Role of Speech-Language Pathologists

Assisting Survivors of Traumatic Brain Injury helps prepare graduate students and practicing speechlanguage pathologists to serve people with traumatic brain injury TBI The book is divided into three sections Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury Understanding the Role of SpeechLanguage Pathologists and Understanding Reintegration The first section provides an overview of TBI definitions epidemiology injury severity and mechanisms of injury The second section deals with the major disorders associated with TBI for which speechlanguage pathologists assume diagnostic and intervention responsibility coma and posttraumatic amnesia cognitivecommunication impairments motor speech disorders and swallowing disorders The final section provides information about integrating survivors of TBI into family educational vocational and community settings This valuable tool is a musthave for all professionals who work with patients with TBI.

Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury: A Guide for Speech-Language Pathologists is designed for speech- language pathologists (SLPs) treating adults with cognitive- communicative impairments following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cognitive impairments are one of the cardinal features of TBI, affecting communication and activities of daily living. This book integrates scientific information into a user friendly and practical application tool for practicing SLPs and students in training to become SLPs. Section I contains chapters that serve as background for understanding the treatment of TBI. Included are chapters addressing mechanisms of injury, neuropathology, recovery patterns, and applicable classification and outcome measures following TBI. An overview of cognitive-communicative impairments is also included, as are sections devoted to common compounding and concomitant conditions that impact individuals with TBI and their rehabilitation. Section I also contains chapters describing the rehabilitation process following TBI from the broader landscape of interdisciplinary and patient-centered rehabilitation and specific to cognitive rehabilitation treatment (CRT) for adults with TBI. Section II contains chapters devoted to describing CRT in the areas of attention and information processing speed impairments, memory, executive function and awareness, and social communication. Chapters in section II focus on treatment approaches that have an established base, described in a clinically useable format. Each chapter includes a summary of the research evidence, recommended candidates, and background on a specific treatment approach. They also include a section devoted to \'Treatment in Action, \' designed to explain applicable steps, procedures, and needed materials for implementation of a specific approach. Charts, figures, tables, and appendices are also included to facilitate the use of a specific approach.
