Proud of Erica Zhang for this paper reporting her excellent Hons1 project from @syd_health @Sydney_Uni. Congrats to @EliseElbourn for supervising. 🙏Davida Fromm and Brian MacWhinney from Talkbank @CarnegieMellon for hosting #TBIBank @ABICommLab & @DrJoSteel’s #TBI expertise
This is the first study to explore important event recounts told by people with severe traumatic brain injury as they recovered. Participants showed discourse recovery beyond 12 months, highlighting the need for equivalent timing of service provision. https://t.co/AjGomEvt9K
