The personal account of TBI from a survivor of TBI was very useful as he was able to share his journey and recovery over the course of several years. This is perfect for someone like myself who is hoping to specialize in TBI , SLPs who are switching settings, or new SLP's who do not have years of experience to generate a clear picture of recovery outcomes.
