TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Cognitive-communication disorders in children with traumatic brain injury JO - Developmental medicine and child neurology A1 - Turkstra, Lyn S. A1 - Politis, Adam M. A1 - Forsyth, Rob SP - 217 EP - 222 VL - 57 IS - 3 N2 - Children with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are at risk of developing cognitive-communication disorders that have devastating effects on their school life, family life, and social life. These problems can be difficult for families to describe and may be overlooked by community-based providers who are unfamiliar with TBI sequelae. To support the identification and management of cognitive-communication disorders, we review the common signs and symptoms of these disorders in children with TBI and discuss principles of assessment and intervention.
