"I recommend this book highly as a resource. The authors have managed to formulate and tabulate much of the complexity, diversity, and minutiae we need to consider when working with this client group."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent therapy tool for higher level cognition, February 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Therapy and Resource Manual (Neurogenic Communication Disorders) (Paperback)

I work at a outpatient head injury rehab facility and deal mainly with higher level cognition such as attention, problem solving, and memory. It is very difficult to find materials and I used to make up my own. This book has allowed me to free up alot of the time I used producing my own materials. It is a terrific book and a great asset. One other therapist in my facility has bought the book and our student affiliate has taken great interest in it. Great job at making such a useful tool!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for new clinicians, January 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Therapy and Resource Manual (Neurogenic Communication Disorders) (Paperback)

As a graduate student, I have found this book to be a valuable resource. I have used it in many different practicum settings, and find the activities and exercises easy to use as well as effective. In addition, the appendix on 'therapy documentation, transition, and discharge' has been very helpful as I learn more about the paperwork that accompanies the field of speech-language pathology.

This review is from: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Therapy and Resource Manual (Neurogenic Communication Disorders) (Paperback)

This is a really nice resource for an SLP working with the TBI population. It is not as repetitive to other resources that I already own that I feared it might be, which is wonderful (especially considering it is almost $100). I would have liked it if it contained a bonus CD with printable forms for the activities and worksheets. I really like that it gives a lot of background info and suggestions for making activities more difficult.

The book is set up nicely. Suggests parameters to evaluate, standardized/non-standardized tests/observations, and simulated situations. Also provides resources for family and compensatory strategies. Overall a very nice all-in-one book that you can also use for CVA and other patients as well as the TBI population.
