What are some of the changes or warning signs that parents and educators can watch for?
Too often it is failing or lowered grades that signal difficulty. It is important not to wait until the student is in trouble to get help. Early warning signs that an evaluation by a speech and language pathologist is needed are: speaking or writing that is disorganized, difficulty concentrating and paying attention, confusion when new ideas are introduced, a slower rate of handling information, and difficulty learning new vocabulary or grasping ideas. By evaluating these areas every three months during the two years following a brain injury, difficulties can be spotted early and help provided before the student fails.
