People with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) can experience problematic anger or irritability after their injury, and these changes in mood can have major impacts on their daily life. Dr. Tessa Hart and colleagues developed and refined the Anger Self-Management Training Program to help address these challenges. You can find more information, the treatment manual, and relevant references on our website: https://rehabilitationresearch.jefferson.edu/innovations/anger-self-management-training-program.html

Can speech entrainment improve speech in people with ? Learn about ongoing research by Dr. Marja-Liisa Mailend and the Speech & Language Recovery Laboratory that is evaluating and refining speech entrainment in people with post-stroke aphasia. This treatment approach involves speaking in unison with a model speaker by imitating their speech (and accompanying mouth movements) in real time.

Dr. Umesh Venkatesan, Director of the Brain Trauma and Behavior Lab, investigates moderate-severe TBI as a chronic disability. His research characterizes changes after TBI, describes personal, sociological, and environmental factors that impact post-injury outcomes, and applies new findings to develop theory-based treatment models and precision behavioral health interventions.
