Event Description
Kara Focht, MS,CCC-SLP is an outpatient speech-language pathologist and certified brain injury specialist.

It took 20+ providers and a combination of traditional and complementary approaches for life to feel manageable again. Now, she serves as the lead SLP for the hospital’s concussion team and loves providing holistic therapy to help other brain injury survivors navigate their recoveries. Kara is a Love Your Brain certified yoga teacher. She writes about cognitive challenges after brain injury and provides free resources through Rethink Speech Therapy.
