In recent years there has emerged a realisation that communication problems are closely tied to the cognitive, behavioural and social problems observed following traumatic brain injury (TBI). This is changing the way people with TBI are assessed and is generating new approaches to rehabilitation. This book brings together a comprehensive and contemporary collection of chapters that represents the best work being done in the area, covering social and functional linguistic behaviour in adults and children with chapters on discourse, pragmatics, exchange structure, social skills and voice and articulation. This volume will be of interest to psychologists, speech pathologists and therapists and linguists. Clinicians and researchers working with people with traumatic brain injury, and their students, will find it a comprehensive source of contemporary approaches to characterising the communication problems of people with TBI and for planning rehabilitation.
