Above: Speech pathologist
Professor Leanne Togher
appeared on ABC Radio's
Conversations with Richard Fidler
on 21 May. Prof Togher works
as a communications disorder
specialist at the University of
Sydney's Faculty of Health
Sciences, and she discussed the
work she conducts with people
who have a sudden loss of
communication due to acquired
brain injury (ABI), the majority
of these injuries occurring in
young men who have been in
road accidents. While working
at Lidcombe Hospital in the
Brain Injury Unit, Prof Togher
investigated ways in which family
and friends of a person with ABI
can work together to help improve
their loved one's communication.
A fascinating listen!
