Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to describe the importance of and strategies to identify traumatic brain injury (TBI) and associated cognitive-communication disorders (CCDs) in children, a priority identified by the attendees at the Fourth International Cognitive-Communication Disorders Conference. Childhood TBI is associated with a range of difficulties, including CCDs, that can adversely impact functioning and participation into adulthood. Identifying a history of TBI in children in schools is the crucial first step to then monitor, assess, and provide evidence-based intervention and accommodations in collaboration with families and medical and educational professionals.

Conclusion: Given that CCDs are treatable, effective identification, assessment, and management of students with TBI and resulting CCDs can reduce adverse outcomes in adult survivors of childhood TBI. Speech-language pathologists must be aware of their expertise in assessing and treating CCDs in children with TBI and advocate for programmatic and policy changes to better identify and support children with TBI.

在学校识别脑损伤儿童的重要性：语言治疗师是至关重要的合作伙伴。

目的：本文旨在描述识别儿童创伤性脑损伤（TBI）和相关认知-交流障碍（CCD）的重要性和策略，这是第四届国际认知-交流障碍大会与会者确定的优先事项。儿童创伤性脑损伤与包括认知沟通障碍在内的一系列困难有关，这些困难会对儿童成年后的功能和参与产生不利影响。识别在校儿童的创伤性脑损伤病史是关键的第一步，然后与家庭、医疗和教育专业人员合作进行监测、评估并提供循证干预和适应措施：结论：鉴于 CCD 是可以治疗的，有效识别、评估和管理有创伤性脑损伤和由此导致的 CCD 的学生可以减少儿童创伤性脑损伤成年幸存者的不良后果。言语病理学家必须意识到他们在评估和治疗儿童创伤性脑损伤 CCD 方面的专长，并倡导对计划和政策进行改革，以更好地识别和支持创伤性脑损伤儿童。

期刊介绍： Mission: AJSLP publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles on all aspects of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. The journal is an international outlet for clinical research pertaining to screening, detection, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. Because of its clinical orientation, the journal disseminates research findings applicable to diverse aspects of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. AJSLP seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work. Scope: The broad field of speech-language pathology, including aphasia; apraxia of speech and childhood apraxia of speech; aural rehabilitation; augmentative and alternative communication; cognitive impairment; craniofacial disorders; dysarthria; fluency disorders; language disorders in children; speech sound disorders; swallowing, dysphagia, and feeding disorders; and voice disorders.
