Abstract
This study aims to identify the extent and nature of available resources in inpatient, outpatient, and rehabilitation settings for speech-language assessment and treatment in Spanish-speaking adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acquired brain injury (ABI) in the Portland Metro area. Identification of lack of resources could be used for future improvements in resources. To investigate this, a web-based survey was answered by 25 participants via Qualtrics. Participants were speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the Portland metro area who have treated bilingual / multilingual clients in the past 1-2 years.
Results are presented descriptively to answer four research questions: (1) Have Portland Metro medical SLPs received training in assessment and treatment of CLD adults? (2) Do Portland Metro medical SLPs have a Spanish-speaking interpreter readily available in their workplace for the assessment and treatment of their patients? Are they aware of the resources available in their workplace? (3) If Portland Metro medical SLPs do not have a Spanish-speaking interpreter readily available in their workplace for the assessment and treatment of their patients, what resources do they use to address communication barriers? (untrained interpreters, friends or family of patients, bilingual SLPs) (4) If available, what assessment tools do Portland Metro medical SLPs use most often with Spanish-speaking clients?
