Predicting Long-Term Personality Changes Following TBI
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an acquired neurological disorder caused by trauma to the brain. Those who have experienced a traumatic brain injury often report changes to their personality immediately and sometimes lasting for years after the initial injury. Personality changes like depression, anxiety, mood swings, emotional lability, and impulse control can negatively affect the patient’s recovery. These changes are a result of the damage done to the frontal lobe and other parts of the brain; therefore, it is important to understand the structures and functions of the brain and how they are affected by a TBI. od can be predictive of long-term effects of TBI.https://griffinshare.fontbonne.edu/slp-posters-2023/1008/thumbnail.jp

Effects of Diabetes on Speech and Language across the Lifespan
According to the CDC, “diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects the way your body turns food into energy”. More than 37 million adults in the United States have diabetes which is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. With diabetes affecting such a large portion of the population, what do speech-language pathologists need to know about how blood sugar affects speech and language in various types of individuals? This literature review explores the effects of language development later in the life of babies born to mothers with diabetes. The effects that diabetes has on adults’ ability to process language will also be identified. The roles of speech-language pathologists in the care of diabetic patients will be explored, and learners will be provided with information about how to best provide care for their diabetic patients. Speech-language pathologists play a vital role in helping their clients affected by diabetes across the lifespan with expressive and receptive language.https://griffinshare.fontbonne.edu/slp-posters-2023/1044/thumbnail.jp
Advocacy Builders Project: Economic Stability
Poverty or wealth determines a person\u27s health in our capitalist society. A person in poverty is likely suffering from “lack of” in many areas of their life. Money and one’s ability to have and to make more of it determine the healthy habits one is able to cultivate, practice, and maintain over the course of one’s life. For example, of the folks in poverty, about 35% are also food insecure.3 They don’t have access to reliable, consistent food, and the food they do have access to is likely to be cheaper, more processed foods that aren’t as nutrient rich. More than 1 in 5 children diagnosed with a chronic disability has one or more social, emotional, behavioral or developmental problems—this comorbidity is two times more likely to happen to children living in poverty.4 And what’s more, kids who grew up in poverty are more likely to be adults who live in poverty,5 and unfortunately, it’s a compounding condition—the longer you spend being poor in childhood, the more likely your are to be in poverty as an adult. Or, most directly connected to health and well-being, people in poverty don’t have access to consistent, meaningful, and prevention-focused healthcare.https://griffinshare.fontbonne.edu/westories-advocacy-builders/1002/thumbnail.jp
