My friend Shirley lost her son from overdose following a devastating #TBI. We can help prevent tragic stories like Shirley’s by providing integrated, wrap-around, long-term supports for people living with the aftermath of brain injuries. #125DaysToSayYes

Difficulty speaking, stuttering, and missing words post-concussion?
Are we overlooking the impacts of #concussion on language abilities?
Check out my research presented at the 11th Annual @SportsNeuroSoc Symposium in Denver CO ⤵️
