The importance of speech and language therapy provision after catastrophic injury

Judith Scholefield talks about the importance of speech and language therapy provision and social communication after serious injury.

Interviewed by Emma Lyons, Personal Injury Senior Associate at Stewarts.

Judith explores how to identify when a speech and language therapist is required as part of a multidisciplinary team and the point at which it is appropriate to introduce them to the rehabilitation process. Judith discuss the difficulties experienced by those who suffer from social communication disorders and how a speech and language therapist addresses those problems.

Judith will explore how understanding in people affected by severe traumatic brain injury is assessed. She also analyses whether there is room for speech and language therapy for patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness and non-brain injury cases.
