A brain injury can severely disrupt the capacity to effectively communicate and think, and can have devastating consequences for returning to previous roles and activities. 

Relationships can suffer as communication breakdown occurs, while the person with the injury and their family members may struggle to find ways to work around these challenges to find new ways forward.

What are your areas of difficulty and how do they impact you on a day to day basis? 

Together with your speech pathologist, you will identify ways of improving your thinking and communication skills and find helpul ways of working around the challenges you face. 

Your speech pathologist may also work with you and your family to help you all understand how changes to your communication have affected family dynamics and how you can all communicate more effectively.
