Subject: req references on communication ability as a predictor of a closed traumatic brain injury From: "G. Robert Arrabito" <Robert.Arrabito@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2007 16:37:44 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear listers, I would greatly appreciate if someone would please point me to references pertaining to oral communication ability as a predictor of a closed traumatic brain injury (TBI). Causes of the TBI could include a motor vehicle accident or a bomb explosion. I’ve just embarked on this topic and am naïve on the subject matter. To date I have come across the article by Douglas, Bracy and Snow (2007) entitled “Measuring Perceived Communicative Ability after traumatic brain injury: Reliability and validity of the La Trobe communication questionnaire” in Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, 22(1), 31-39. I would also welcome comments on this article or on the subject matter per se. Please e-mail me directly and I’ll then post a summary of replies to the list. Thanks.
