@hopkins_centre @claudiadreads @LindaBarclay34 @Aus_Advocate My pleasure! It is such an important area which needs so much more attention and resources! We surveyed speech pathologists as part of Tennille Bertram’s thesis and found 40% did not include friends in their treatment of people with TBI. @ABICommLab
