Welcome to the second series of The Brainy Speech Therapist Podcast. In this episode, Jan and Helen discuss cognition and how it effects communication. We talk about the Model of Cognitive-Communication Competence by Sheila Macdonald, more information can be found in her paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29064304/ If you are keen to undertake specific training in this area, head to courses.brainandcommunication.ca We also chat through a couple of case studies to illustrate how difficulties might present and impact on the individual and their communication partners.
