Traumatic Brain Injury: Cognitive and Communication Disorders.
Cognitive-communication disorders are problems with communication that have an underlying cause in a cognitive deficit rather than a primary language or speech deficit. A cognitive-communication disorder results from impaired functioning of one or more cognitive processes, including the following.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause damage to the brain that may contribute to both short term and long term difficulties with communication and cognitive functioning. An injury of this kind can occur both from the impact of an external force or an internal event such as a stroke, tumour or disease.
In November 2016, the NHMRC approved the recommendations for the first clinical practice guideline for the management of communication and swallowing disorders following paediatric traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability, affecting approximately 765 to 2008 per 100 000 Australian children each year.
T1 - Speech and language disorders after TBI in children. AU - Fabbro, F. PY - 2003. Y1 - 2003. N2 - Severe head traumas in children generally cause associated deficits of verbal communication and language, and they also influence later development of cognitive and pragmatic functions. To practically deal with these severe communication deficits, children who suffered traumatic brain injury.
Sensory and communication disorders in traumatic brain injury. Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often present with a constellation of symptoms that may interact, persist, and exacerbate if untreated (1-7). Recently, clinicians have noted that auditory, vestibular, and visual symptoms were frequently reported by combat returnees during their clinical evaluation and treatment (8-12.
Articulation Disorders Therapy. Based on kid’s age a speech-language pathologist can assess and determine if a child has an articulation or phonological disorder. Comparing the type and quality of speech errors with statistical norms provides a good assessment of a child’s speech production by what is expected of the child at his or her age.
Motor speech disorders are impairments in the systems and mechanisms that control the movements necessary for the production of speech. They are a group of disorders resulting from disturbances in muscular control, weakness, slowness, or incoordination of the speech mechanism due to damage to the central nervous system. The term encompasses coexisting neurogenic disorders of several or all the.
