39. The Benefits of Speech Therapy with Hilary Booco - Concussion, Brain Injury, & Language

The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury

It can be immensely frustrating to want to have a conversation but not be able to find the right word or fail to even get the words out fast enough. But all is not lost, if you can work towards getting your point across, you’ve communicated!
Today’s guest is speech therapist Hilary Booco. Hilary has a Master's Degree in Speech Language Pathology from George Washington University. She has spent her career focused on treating neurological issues including post-concussion syndrome, dementia, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders. In our conversation today we cover what a speech language pathologist does, what it looks like in post-concussion treatment, what the objective of speech therapy is, and Hilary shares some great advice for people currently struggling with word-finding and stuttering. You don’t want to miss this, so tune in today!
