About This Podcast
Two guys with brain injuries share the lived experience in collaboration with a speech/language pathologist. Co-hosts Ken and Jesse interview peers about their experiences following Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and healthcare professionals and friends and family members who spend time with people following ABI. Melissa Capo, M.S., CCC/SLP, along with graduate students, supports the co-hosts in the planning, interviewing and review of podcast episodes. An audio engineer professional and his students collaborate with the team for editing and audio production. This work is an application of project-oriented intervention in ABI rehabilitation.
