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). TBI has received recent attention, due to an increase
in the number of individuals with TBI, but also given concerns over
long-term complications associated with TBI, such as concussion in
sports. Cognitive impairments are one of the cardinal features of
TBI, affecting communication and activities of daily living.
Increasingly, SLPs are required to provide services to individuals
with TBI. This book integrates scientific information into a user
friendly and practical application tool as a starting point for
practicing SLPs.Section I contains chapters that serve as
background for understanding the treatment of individuals with TBI.
Included are chapters addressing the nature of injury and recovery
of TBI, and chapters on broader topics such as medical management
and service delivery principles. An overview of
cognitive-communicative impairments is also included, as are
sections devoted to compounding conditions such as speech,
language, voice, swallowing, hearing/balance, and
emotional/behavioral issues. Section II contains chapters devoted
to the treatment of TBI and cognitive-communicative impairments.
Each chapter focuses on a treatment approach shown to have an
established base of evidence to support its effective use. Chapters
in Section II are formatted similarly, with an introduction to a
treatment approach, followed by details and clinically useable
information, such as recommended candidates, treatment procedures,
ways to individualize the approach, and data collection techniques.
Each chapter ends with a case study providing an example of
treatment implementation. The associated PluralPlus companion
website contains modifiable forms and materials for use in
implementing the approaches (e.g., data collection sheets, stimuli
lists, etc.), as well as video clips of treatment sessions using
the approaches described in the book. The video clips are tied to
actual case studies at the end of each treatment chapter.Cognitive
Rehabilitation Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury can serve as a
supplemental textbook for graduate courses on neurologic
communication disorders. It is also a valuable resource for
students during clinical practicum with individuals with TBI (e.g.,
hospital internships or clinical hours). This book is also a
professional resource that summarizes information in a way that is
applicable to clinical practice for practicing SLPs. The presence
of useable materials on the website, case studies with video clips,
and sections with information like candidacy, data collection, and
approach modification, all lend themselves to the use of this book
as a professional resource.
