Résumé
Language and communication deficits are intrinsic to disorders of consciousness. This article will provide an overview of language and communication deficits that can significantly confound the accuracy of diagnostic assessment in these patients. Authors will also discuss interventions to promote early communication using assistive technology and augmentative communication rehabilitation strategies. Finally, this article will discuss the importance of family education as well as ethical considerations connected to the recovery of communication and adaptive strategies to support patient autonomy and enhance self-agency.
