ABSTRACT

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) continues to be one of the major causes of longterm disability for individuals worldwide (Langlois et al., 2006). However, emerging research regarding neuroplasticity provides evidence-based promise for recovery, particularly at chronic stages post-injury. This new evidence has compelled professionals involved in the research, diagnoses and/or treatment of cognitive–communication impairments in TBI to seek effective methodologies and follow-up monitoring to advance long-term recovery and higher brain performance levels.
