Understanding Lingering Changes after Concussion

Many individuals who sustain a concussion appear physically recovered yet continue to experience subtle cognitive-communication and executive functioning challenges that affect daily life, work, and relationships. This presentation explores the often “invisible” lingering effects of mild traumatic brain injury through a functional speech-language pathology lens. Participants will learn how to recognize persistent post-concussion changes, apply evidence-informed assessment strategies, and implement practical intervention approaches aligned with current best practices and INCOG 2.0 guidelines. Case examples and clinically relevant tools will support the translation of research into real-world practice.
