Default Speech Issues

Hi Soccer,

Speech issues are not uncommon after a concussion.

I take speech therapy for a number of problems caused by my TBI, including stuttering and aphasia (saying one word when I mean another). The stuttering I hear, but I'm largely oblivious to the aphasia.

Don't be too proud to go to speech therapy. It's helped me a lot and, provided I'm rested and not rushed, I'm starting to feel more confident about talking. I also take cognitive therapy to help with my concentration, etc... Frankly, I'll try any therapy that might help improve my functioning.
