Cognitive-communication disturbance following traumatic brain injury (TBI) has historically been well characterized, along with recommendations for assessment and treatment. Approaches often focus on underlying disorders of attention, memory, and executive functioning and their impact on communication behaviors, especially in the chronic stages of recovery. Another cognitive domain, language, is often underrecognized in these approaches, and recommendations for management in the acute stage of neuro-rehabilitation are lacking, leaving clinicians in the inpatient rehabilitation setting with uncertainty on how to work with this population. In this David Strauss clinical webinar, Kim Frey, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, CBIS will review findings from a 3-year study investigating acute post-traumatic language disturbance (aPTLD) in an inpatient neuro-rehabilitation setting.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the neuroanatomy of aphasia in TBI.
  • List the benefits to considering aphasia in TBI.
  • Describe clinical presentation and assessment of persons with aphasia due to TBI.

 Includes 1 ACBIS CEU.
