Traumatic Brain Injury: Birth on a New Planet

Kevin's story is one of extraordinary resilience and determination. In recovering from his Traumatic Brain Injury, Kevin developed his own system to work on daily lessons/exercises to improve his speech and language skills. He has made significant improvement with speaking, spelling, reading, writing and comprehension skills. Kevin's sole purpose in writing this book is to give people firsthand advice to help others recover from a brain injury. It is my hope that you will read his story and be able to apply some of these helpful ideas, lessons and information.I have enjoyed working with Kevin over the years and am truly amazed with his tenacity to complete this book.Martha Scheuerman, MACCC-SLPKevin's book gives a poignant view of his struggle and recovery from his serious brain injury. As the surgeon who operated on him initially, he had a very serious injury and for a period of time we weren't certain he was even going to survive. I have felt he's made an excellent recovery with the extent of his injury, mainly due to his dogged determination to succeed. His innovative, self-taught recovery method is quite remarkable and has certainly improved his life. I endorse this book for anyone who wants to know what it's like to struggle with a severe brain injury and make a recovery. Dr. Christopher Marquart, MD, FAANS, FACSTraumatic Brain Injury: Birth on a New Planet is an excellent composition of the path of recovery from brain injury. Kevin Osborne allows the reader a viewpoint into the complex process from start to the battle to continue to recover for a lifetime. He provides unlimited access to his processes developed from initial speech therapy sessions to personal home exercise programs that he continues to implement to this day. This is a must-read for anyone looking to understand brain injury recovery from the perspective of the person recovering.Hailey Buchner, MS CCC-SLP Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS)
