My pleasure! It is such an important area which needs so much more attention and resources! We surveyed speech pathologists as part of Tennille Bertramβs thesis and found 40% did not include friends in their treatment of people with TBI. @ABICommLab

This is the first study to explore important event recounts told by people with severe traumatic brain injury as they recovered. Participants showed discourse recovery beyond 12 months, highlighting the need for equivalent timing of service provision.
