Behavioral and social interventions for individuals with traumatic brain injury: A summary of the research with clinical implications. A trach may also cause long term physical issues. The Role of the Speech-Language Pathologist in the Assessment &Treatment of TBI . The odds of sustaining a TBI are 2.22 times higher in men than in women (Frost, Farrer, Primosch, & Hedges, 2012). TBI may affect each language used by the child in different ways.

Management of persistent cognitive symptoms after sport-related concussion. However, once the child has made progress on these goals, group treatment may be considered to provide opportunities for generalization and practice. Language intervention for children with TBI takes into account the interconnection between cognition and communication (Blosser & DePompei, 2003). See the Treatment section of the Traumatic Brain Injury (Adults) Evidence Map for pertinent scientific evidence, expert opinion, and client/caregiver perspectives. One of the main challenges in assessing infants, toddlers, and preschoolers is a lack of objective information regarding pre-injury function on which to base an evaluation of deficits (McKinlay & Anderson, 2013). Todis, B., & Glang, A. These variations are often due to differences in participant characteristics (e.g., ages included), diagnostic classification criteria within and across subtypes (e.g., mild TBI vs. severe TBI), and sources of data (e.g., hospital admissions, emergency room visits, general practitioner visits). For college students with TBI, learning to overcome cognitive-communication deficits can have a positive impact on personal and professional success later in life (Kennedy, O'Brien, & Krause, 2012). The ASHA FACS is a measure of com- what exists or fill all the gaps in communi- emergency, and using a calendar. Screening results will indicate how likely it is that a past history of TBI is affecting your patient's behavior today. Does time pressure affect performance in the classroom? Current and future AAC research considerations for adults with acquired cognitive and communication impairments. This framework includes three groups of patients with TBI who can benefit from AAC methods, techniques, and strategies: emergent communicators, transitional communicators, and long-term augmentative communicators. Rates of hospital admission vary widely and are higher in the United States than in other countries (Dewan, Mummareddy, Wellons, & Bonfield, 2016). Intervention in the context of natural environments may incorporate supports such as structured feedback, use of videotaped interactions, modeling and role play, rehearsal and coaching, and training in self-regulation and self-monitoring strategies (MacDonald & Wiseman-Hakes, 2010; Sohlberg & Turkstra, 2011; Ylvisaker, Turkstra, & Coelho, 2005). Comptche, CA: Wild Iris Medical Education. Attention, memory, learning, executive function, and social–emotional impairments—coupled with self-regulation challenges—place students with TBI at greater risk for postsecondary failure (Kennedy, Krause, & Turkstra, 2008). TBI secondary to velocity injury (e.g., motor vehicle or bicycle accidents, sports injuries) occurs more often in elementary school children and adolescents (Faul et al., 2010). Organizing a systematic return to school is central to the student's academic and social success (Sharp, Bye, Llewellyn, & Cusick, 2006). These individuals not only are responsible for making decisions that affect the child's life and education but also provide long-term supports (Roscigno & Swanson, 2011). Shum, D., Fleming, J., Gill, H., Gullo, M. J., & Strong, J. Defense Health Agency. There are few standardized tests for young children with TBI; therefore, observation and parent report are key components in determining changes in baseline function or differences from developmental norms. See ASHA's Practice Portal page on Superior Canal Dehiscence. Functional plasticity or vulnerability after early brain injury? Computer-assisted treatment can be used and monitored by a clinician in person or remotely, providing consistent feedback to the individual (e.g., Politis & Norman, 2016; Teasell et al., 2013). (2015). When interpreting assessment results for children ages 0–5 years, it is important to consider. Severity of TBI may be categorized as mild, moderate, or severe, based on the extent and nature of injury, duration of loss of consciousness, posttraumatic amnesia (PTA; loss of memory for events immediately following injury), and severity of confusion at initial assessment during the acute phase of injury (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th ed. Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury (Practice Portal). Clinicians and families need to be aware of the following signs that may be initially observed after TBI for this age group: In cases of abusive head trauma such as shaken baby syndrome, sometimes there are no apparent external physical signs to indicate a TBI. Current studies estimate that approximately 775,000 older adults live with long-term disability associated with TBI (Zaloshnja et al., 2008). New York, NY: Demos Medical Publishing.

Cognitive-communication treatments include the following: Instructional or teaching techniques used in cognitive-communication treatment include the following: Social communication interventions are designed (a) to improve functional conversational skills, including the use of appropriate pragmatic language norms (e.g., taking turns and remaining on topic) and (b) to help the individual with TBI navigate social situations. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) play a central role in the screening, assessment, and treatment of persons with TBI. Qualitative Health Research, 10, 1413–1426. Wintrow, S. (2013).

Factors that influence the selection and use of AAC systems following TBI include the child's communication abilities and needs as well as his or her cognitive, neurobehavioral, motor, sensory, and perceptual impairments (Fager & Spellman, 2010). Treatment of children with TBI addresses abilities to function effectively in everyday real-life environments, including home, school, work, and community. It is a measure of. Brain Injury Professional, 3, 33. Direct attention training (DAT) provides structured opportunities for repeated practice to improve various aspects of attention, including sustained attention over time (vigilance), selective attention, divided attention, and the ability to shift attention (Sohlberg, 2002; Sohlberg et al., 2003). See the Service Delivery section of the Traumatic Brain Injury (Adults) Evidence Map for pertinent scientific evidence, expert opinion, and client/caregiver perspective. Child: Care, Health and Development, 36, 44–53. Training communication partners of people with severe traumatic brain injury improves everyday conversations: A multicenter single blind clinical trial. The training of teachers, staff, and family members for the purpose of optimizing functional communication is also an essential part of AAC intervention (Fager & Spellman, 2010). 93-112, 29 U.S.C. A pilot study evaluating attention and strategy training following pediatric traumatic brain injury. Accommodations might include notetakers, extended time for tests and assignments, and assistive technology (e.g., text-to-speech and speech-to-text devices that help with reading and writing tasks). McKinlay, A., & Anderson, V. (2013). Due to the complexity of cognitive sequelae in TBI and its influence on bilingual language production (Penn, Frankel, Watermeyer, & Russell, 2010), a thorough case history and interviews with the family and individual are particularly useful in identifying premorbid language proficiency, language preference for assessment and treatment of linguistic deficits, and communicative needs in the community (Lorenzen & Murray, 2008). Perspectives on Neurophysiology and Neurogenic Speech and Language Disorders, 23(2), 49–58. In high school and collegiate athletics, girls have higher concussion rates than boys in sports played by both sexes (Covassin, Moran, & Elbin, 2016; Dick, 2009; Hootman, Dick, & Agel, 2007; Marar, McIlvain, Fields, & Comstock, 2012). Brain Injury, 27, 850–861.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation. Audiologists play a central role in the assessment, diagnosis, and rehabilitation of hearing and vestibular deficits in individuals with TBI. The emotional and social effects of TBI on quality of life are discussed, as well as the long-term effects of TBI. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) involves supplementing or replacing natural speech and/or writing with aided (e.g., pictures, line drawings, speech-generating devices, and tangible objects) and/or unaided (e.g., manual signs, gestures, and finger spelling) symbols. (2002). Lincoln, A. E., Caswell, S. V., Almquist, J. L., Dunn, R. E., Norris, J. Sohlberg, M. M., & Turkstra, L. S. (2011). Screening is conducted in the language(s) used by the child and family, with sensitivity to cultural and linguistic variables. Hickey, E. M., & Saunders, J. N. (2010). TBI in children is a chronic disease process rather than a one-time event, because symptoms may change and unfold over time (DePompei & Tyler, in press; Masel & DeWitt, 2010).

Neurosurgery Quarterly, 25, 423–426. Family-centered practice can provide a way to improve the family's ability to adapt to changes brought about by the TBI by helping family members communicate openly, identify priorities, and learn how to problem-solve together (Wade, 2006; Wade, Wolfe, Brown, & Pestian, 2005).

(2011). When the child reaches school age, it is important to alert staff at each new school about the child's medical history and the possible impact of TBI, so that necessary supports are put into place and behavioral or learning difficulties are not mistakenly attributed to some other cause (e.g., attention-deficit disorder or learning disability; Chapman, 2006; Gamino et al., 2009; Haarbauer-Krupa, 2012b; Turkstra et al., 2015). (2011). Because academic and vocational literacy demands increase during postsecondary transitions, SLPs can have a meaningful impact on outcomes in these areas as well (Krause, Byom, Meulenbroek, Richards, & O'Brien, 2015). Therefore, many speech and language interventions will target the cognitive-communication, behavioral, and social demands of the school environment.

For example, dysphagia management may include interdisciplinary teamwork between occupational therapists, dietitians, nursing staff, and the SLP. Therefore, these estimates may significantly underestimate the incidence and prevalence of TBI. Standardized on 146 children aged 3-15 years 37 of whom had a TBI; 63 males and 83 females Controlled Oral Word Association See ASHA's Practice Portal Page on. The Strategic Memory and Reasoning Training (SMART) program is one example of a strategic learning intervention that teaches the student how to eliminate unimportant information; summarizing information in one's own words; and consider multiple interpretations (Cook, DePompei, & Chapman, 2011).

A review examining worldwide incidence rates of pediatric TBI revealed variations by country ranging from 47 to 280 per 100,000 children. Sohlberg, M. M., Harn, B., MacPherson, H., & Wade, S. L. (2014). American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Functional Assessment of Communication Skills for Adults (ASHA FACS). Treatment is often hierarchical, targeting specific processes in the impaired domain before introducing more demanding higher-level tasks, and eventually generalizing skills to more functional activities and tasks (Sohlberg & Mateer, 2001).

A compensatory approach to treatment may also include accommodations and/or modifications. . Valovich McLeod, T., & Guskiewicz, K. (2012). This skill typically develops in early adolescence; it is often deficient in youth with TBI, resulting in academic challenges. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) defines TBI as. Preferred practice patterns for the profession of speech-language pathology. In addition to determining the optimal treatment approaches for individuals with TBI, SLPs consider other service delivery variables—including format, provider, dosage, and timing—that may affect treatment outcomes.

MacDonald, S., & Wiseman-Hakes, C. (2010). This process can be applied to skills in any of the cognitive-communication domains. Each party is equally important in the relationship, and each party respects the knowledge, skills, and experiences that the others bring to the process. SLPs in all settings need to work closely with youth, family, school-based professionals, employers, and community members to plan and facilitate transitional supports. Brain Injury, 14, 181–186. Hearing screening is within the SLP scope of practice. Screening does not provide a detailed description of the severity and characteristics of deficits resulting from TBI but, rather, identifies the need for further assessment.
