This book was released on 2018 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescents with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may exhibit subtle cognitive-communication deficits that are not consistently identified by the formal assessments commonly used to qualify children for special education services. Expository discourse production is rarely used as an assessment tool with students who have TBI, despite its relevance to the curriculum. Research is needed to explore the cognitive-linguistic processes and linguistic features that are required for students to successfully produce exposition. The current study conducted microlinguistic and fluency analyses of verbal summaries produced by five adolescents with traumatic brain injury and five matched peers with typical development (TD). Each participant verbally summarized one narrative and two expository (compare-contrast, cause-effect) discourse lectures that were then transcribed and analyzed for microlinguistic measures, mazing behaviors, and pausing patterns. The group with TBI was significantly less productive than the group with TD during cause-effect and compare-contrast productions. No other microlinguistic differences were identified between groups. The group with TBI produced significantly fewer filled pauses per utterance during cause-effect production. The group with TBI also produced significantly more within-clause pauses per utterance during compare-contrast production. No significant differences were found between groups on any variable analyzed during narrative productions. On average, the group with TD produced more mazes, and the group with TBI produced more pauses of longer lengths. These findings support other studies that suggest that different types of exposition have different production requirements, and that they are distinct from narrative productions. The different patterns of mazing and pausing found between groups help to characterize discourse production by adolescents with TBI and are discussed in terms of decreased language processing abilities. Differences in discourse production may be relevant to classroom performance and useful in future research exploring more sensitive ways to identify cognitive-communication deficits.

Download or read book Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury written by David Todd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together narrative approaches and brain injury rehabilitation, in a manner that fosters an understanding of the natural fit between the two. We live our lives by narratives and stories, and brain injury can affect those narratives at many levels, with far-reaching effects. Understanding held narratives is as important as understanding the functional profile of the injury. This book explores ways to create a space for personal stories to emerge and change, whilst balancing theory with practical application. Despite the emphasis of this book on the compatibility of narrative approaches to supporting people following brain injury, it also illustrates the potential for contributing to significant change in the current narratives of brain injury. This book takes a philosophically different approach to many current neuro-rehabilitation topics, and has the potential to make a big impact. It also challenges the reader to question their own position, but does so in an engaging manner which makes it difficult to put down.
Download or read book Social and Communication Disorders Following Traumatic Brain Injury written by Skye McDonald and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can seriously disrupt the social and communication skills that are basic requirements for everyday life. It is the loss of these interpersonal skills that can be the most devastating for people with TBI and their families. Although there are many books that focus upon TBI, none focus on communication and communication skills specifically. This book fills this important gap in the literature and provides information ranging from a broad overview of the nature of pathology following TBI and its effects on cognition and behaviour, through to the latest evidence about ways to assess and treat social and communication disorders. Much has changed in the field of communication disorders and TBI since the first edition of this book was published in 1999. There have been advances in neuroimaging, providing more accurate understanding of how the brain is damaged in TBI and also insights into its repair. There has been a burgeoning interest in social cognition, and advances in how communication is conceptualized, with a particular focus on the role of how context facilitates or impedes communicative ability. Most importantly, much has changed in the arena of rehabilitation. There is now a growing evidence base of treatments aimed at improving communication problems following TBI, new resources for accessing this information and renewed interest in different kinds of methods for demonstrating treatment effects. Bringing together a range of expert international researchers interested in understanding the nature and treatment of TBI this book covers topics from understanding how the brain damage occurs, how it affects social and communication skills and how these problems might be treated. As such it will be of great interest to clinicians, postgraduate and undergraduate students and researchers in neuropsychology, speech and language pathology.

This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth examination and discussion of how to assess the impact of traumatic brain injury on children and adolescents has a special focus on reintegrating students to school and the community. It is a much needed and valuable resource for rehabilitation clinicians, educators, psychologists, neuropsychologists and counselors in hospitals, schools, and private practice. Pediatric neuropsychologist Dr. Stephen Hooper addresses the limitations of many current assessment methods with particular attention to the developmental impact of childhood trauma on cognition. He then provides a detailed framework by examining specific assessment constructs and procedures for motor functions, sensory functions, attention, language, visual processing, memory and learning, executive functions, and social and behavior functions. Each chapter has a special section on research findings and clinical practices for children and adolescents with traumatic brain injury (TBI) with recommendations for assessment procedures and measures with detailed tables for reference. This book is essential for all clinicians working with school age children.
