Hello @treyaj
I believe that speech therapy would be most helpful to you and I encourage you to seek out a speech therapist with experience in your area of a TBI. I am glad to hear that singing helps you as it has with me as well.
Here is a link to an article about the effect of music on brain injured individuals, https://www.brainline.org/article/how-music-helps-heal-injured-brain
Here is another article about how singing is used to help people with brain injuries caused by strokes, https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2011/12/26/144152193/singing-therapy-helps-stroke-patients-speak-again
This interesting video was shared by one of our mentors, Martin, @predictable.

There are many good articles there about the brain and healing.
Here is an example of singing in a medical environment. I think you will enjoy it😊
