Supporting Families of Children With Disorders of Consciousness
Guests on this podcast episode characterize work with pediatric disorders of consciousness as a "marathon, not a sprint."Through long stretches of rehabilitation, speech-language pathologists work closely with these young patients’ families, who may be in a process of grieving.Two SLPs from a children’s hospital in Texas discuss counseling families in this second of two episodes exploring disorders of consciousness. They tell us about collaborating with families during assessment and treatment, and how they work with these families in emotionally difficult moments.Learn More:* ASHA Voices: Looking for Subtleties While Treating Disorders of Consciousness (https://leader.pubs.asha.org/do/10.1044/2025-0814-podcast-slp-disorders-consciousness/full/)* ASHA Voices: The Difference Patient Counseling Makes (https://leader.pubs.asha.org/do/10.1044/2025-0313-podcast-slp-counseling-trach-tbi/full/)* ASHA Practice Portal: Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury (https://www.asha.org/practice-portal/clinical-topics/pediatric-traumatic-brain-injury/?srsltid=ARcRdnpnq9-N7UalAZ6-SqCkRQuAkWRpAZQ3IaiVfCmAOkTf-bTJgoNq)
