Professor Sarah Wallace, Duquesne University; collaborator Elena Donoso Brown; Pitt CSD PhD Student Candace van der Stelt; MS SLP Pitt alumna Briana Patterson; MS SLP alumna Jacquelyn Stochel; and Pitt alumna Samantha Kimbis published a new paper called "The Experience of People with Acquired Brain Injury with Home Exercise Programs: A Qualitative Descriptive Study" in the Disability and Health Journal.

The article is available here: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1nf-h6uM4nxQqK This investigation was supported by funding from Encompass Health's Therapy Grant. The findings provide valuable insight into the experience of people using home programs post acquired brain injury that can assist clinicians in maximizing benefit from home rehabilitation programs.
