How SLPs Assess and Manage Memory After TBI
What is it about?
Memory impairments are commonly reported after traumatic brain injury and managed by speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This study examines how SLPs assess and manage memory after TBI and identifies opportunities to improve post-TBI memory outcomes.
Why is it important?
Our findings establish a baseline of the current practices for clinical management of memory impairment in adults with TBI by SLPs. Improved opportunities for clinician training, the development of a single tool to assess multiple forms of memory, better access to existing memory assessments, and the implementation of evidence-based interventions promise to lead to improved memory outcomes for individuals with TBI.
