What happens when acquired brain injury goes undiagnosed in justice-involved individuals? In this episode, we uncover the hidden prevalence of ABI in the criminal justice system and the critical—yet often overlooked—role of speech-language pathologists in rehabilitation. We’ll explore how communication disorders can affect behavior, legal outcomes, and reentry into society, and what SLPs can do to advocate for neurorehab as a path to recovery, not just punishment. Whether you’re new to this population or already working in forensic or correctional settings, this conversation will provide insight into the intersection of brain injury, communication, and the justice system.
