brain injury (TBI) causes both immediate and long lasting problems. Whether these injuries result from a sports related event, wartime wounds, or another traumatic event such as a car
wreck, victims are likely to encounter both motor and linguistic difficulties. Symptoms can mimic those of a vary bad stroke and include immobility on one or more parts of
the body as well as slurred speech (Chadwick and Margolis, 2005). The extent of the injury determines the severity of the symptoms as well as the recovery time (Chadwick,

however, can in most cases ease the problems that the TBI victim experiences in their everyday lives. Speech therapy is often
of particular importance since most of the patients interaction with the world around them is more dependent on speech than it is any other physical capability. Speech pathologists can
help not only the patient but also the patients family and acquaintances to deal with the long term consequences of the injury. TBI is defined by Clark (1996) as:
"an acquired injury to the brain caused by an external physical force, resulting in total
or partial functional disability or psychosocial impairment, or both, that adversely affects a childs educational performance"
Both adults and children, of course, can suffer from TBI. TBI is distinguished from injuries that relate to birth trauma or congenital or degenerative defects (Clark, 1996).
