University of Akron Visits the Clubhouse

September 27, 2005

Master level students from Speech and Language Pathology and Audiology visited the Clubhouse on September 27th, along with their professor, Dr. Roberta DePompei. The students were captivated by the stories of our members as they recounted the events of their brain injuries and the changes in their lives since their accidents. Some common themes heard from the TBI survivors were loss of friends and of productive employment, loneliness, and isolation. Most spoke of a faith in God that helps them now. The students broke up into small groups and rotated around the survivors, asking them questions related to life after brain injury. It was a very rewarding day for all involved.
