Speech Therapist, Leigh Root, takes us on the journey inside the brain to describe what happens when someone sustains a concussion to better help us understand her role in managing these patients. 

Leigh shares some tangible treatment ideas like the “Goal, plan, do!”, brain dump, and how the energy tank comes into play when the need to conserve energy comes into play post-concussion. 

If you’ve ever wondered about the role of an SLP in concussion management, tune into this episode!
