Question

R.M., age 17, and five friends attend a night of Extreme Bowling (i.e., black lights, disco spotlights, colored lane lights and color pins). R.M., while in a squatted position to tie his bowling shoes, was struck on the left side of his head with a 16lb bowling ball swung by his friend. The force of the hit generated a visible bump. One year later, R.M. continues to complain of headaches. Specify and describe three (3) areas that you, as the Speech-Language-Pathologist, would be interested in assessing in R.M. Provide a rationale for why each area is suggested.
