BIAA is live now! Listen to this candid conversation about life after a brain injury!

🤕 Brain injuries can affect a person in many different ways. Here are the areas SLPs can help with:

🧠 Cognition (difficulty paying attention, remembering, and learning new information)

👄 Speech (weakened speech muscles or difficulty controlling the speech muscles)

💬 Language (problems understanding what others say or what you read; problems saying or writing words you want or need)

🍷🥨 Swallowing (trouble chewing, coughing or choking when you eat and drink)

Did I miss anything?
