Abstract
Intimate partner violence occurs globally at alarming rates. Many experience adverse health impacts such as traumatic brain injury. Healthcare providers do not know the role of the speech-language pathologist, or the rehabilitation needs of survivors.
Aims: This scoping review aims to identify speech-language pathology services for survivors of intimate partner violence with a resulting traumatic brain injury, and knowledge of healthcare providers on the rehabilitation needs of this population. A search was completed in May to October 2023, resulting in a total of 13 articles reviewed.
Main contributions: Speech-language pathologists lack knowledge to provide services to intimate partner violence survivors with a resulting traumatic brain injury. Healthcare providers that work with survivors are unaware of the rehabilitation needs of survivors.
Conclusions: Healthcare providers require knowledge of the needs of intimate partner violence survivors with a traumatic brain injury. Research regarding this population is warranted to meet their needs.
