Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury

senior speech pathologyThere are many ways on how a person can get a traumatic brain injury, and it can be through the following:

1. Falls
2. Vehicle accidents
3. Being hit or run into an object
4. Violent assault
5. Sports-related or military-combat injuries

It is possible for someone to get traumatic brain injury several times, even if you had one before. A mild traumatic brain injury can also lead to serious problems if it happens again.

Signs and Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury

1. Physical complications like headaches, loss of balance, and muscle weakness
2. Sensory problems to light, sound, and vision changes
3. Behavioral changes and mood swings
4. Thinking and attention problems
5. Speech and language complications such as dysarthria, apraxia of speech, and others
6. Social communication problems such as difficulty in following conversations, identifying nonverbal cues, and others.
7. Swallowing problems that can lead to swallowing disorders and feeding problems.

If you do notice these symptoms, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately. The longer the problem is not diagnosed, the more severe the situation can get.

Testing and Treating Traumatic Brain Injury

Newark Traumatic Brain Injury Speech Therapy adult speech pathology segment block 300x199A traumatic brain injury requires a group of experts to see how severe the issue is. One of the experts included in this team is a speech pathologist who will test the patient’s current speech, thinking, and language skills. They will also check how well the patient is eating and swallowing.

For speech, language, and thinking problems, speech pathologists will see what is needed to determine what the therapy or treatment will be like. Some of the things you can expect in speech therapy for brain injuries include the following activities that will:

1. Improve speech quality and diction
2. Boost reading comprehension
3. Improve attention for daily activities
4. Improve memory retention and collection
5. Strengthen one’s problem-solving skills, organization, and planning
6. Work on one’s social skills and understand social cues
7. Learn safe ways to swallow
8. Learn compensatory strategies to do certain things

For those who have not been able to speak for a long time after their injury, your assigned speech pathologist can recommend alternative communication methods to therapy. They can also reach out to family members and other professionals to help patients and get additional therapies to support their recovery.

Here at Neurorehab & Speech Healers, LLC, our licensed speech pathologists can make your diagnosis in the clinic or through teletherapy, depending on your schedule or preferences. Once we have the details about your condition, we will explain the best therapies available to get your speech and language skills back into normal.
