Sorry for my delayed reply -- yes, Speech-Language Pathologist. I don't know if mine is unusual or not, but she does work with a lot of clients who have Acquired Brain Injury (not just traumatic, but also from chemo, surgery, tumors, celiac, hypoxia, etc.). She has helped me a lot with working with my executive function issues, actually, since issues I had in the very beginning with word-finding and things like that seemed to have resolved themselves. For example, we've developed some blank work forms that are tailored to my life, the things I need to do most days, my schedule, etc. She is also very interested in new studies and research concerning diet, supplements, inflammation, etc. She's also the first health-care provider to clue me in that some of the issues I've had with body temperature regulation are likely related to my mTBI.
I feel very lucky to have her.
