Despite a broad understanding of the chronic and complex nature of childhood\u00a0brain injury, evidence-based practices are limited for rehabilitation and educational professionals. This seminar will address common long-term challenges associated with childhood brain injury within the scope of speech-language pathology, such as speech, language, and cognitive-communication\/executive function skills. Groups at high-risk for disparate negative consequences from childhood brain injury will be discussed, including justice-involved youth and children experiencing family violence. Interdisciplinary assessment and treatment strategies will be discussed, as well as opportunities for research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>91¸£Àû the speaker:\u00a0<\/strong>Jessica Salley Riccardi, PhD CCC-SLP, is an Assistant Professor and the director of the Brain injury, Education, and Rehabilitation (BEaR) Lab. Her research interests include long-term outcomes for children with brain injury, particularly in the area of cognitive-communication and for high risk groups. As a speech-language pathologist, her research aims to inform multidisciplinary practices and policies for individuals who experienced a brain injury during childhood. During her doctoral training, Dr. Riccardi was an American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation New Century Doctoral Scholar.
