The Krempels Brain Injury Foundation's
 Oral History Project


Every year over 7,000 people in New Hampshire suffer a brain injury caused by trauma, tumor or stroke. Some are your neighbors, your friends, or your family.

The goal of this project is to increase awareness of this unique population that often goes unseen and unheard.

Listen -  The following oral histories are available as mp3 files which may be downloaded and opened with any mp3 player or software capable of playing mp3s (iTunes, Window Media Player…). Please be patient while downloading.

SteppingStones' Oral History Project was featured in a November 2006 article in the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's publication, The ASHA Leader.  The article, written by University of New Hamsphire's Communication Sciences and Disorders professor Michael Fraas and graduate student intern Meg Calvert, highlights the stories of the "silent epidemic" of brain injury.

The Oral History Project provides SteppingStones members a chance to tell their stories…stories of hope and triumph of the human spirit.

Through a question and answer format, member interviewers digitally record

the stories of other members. Members and student intern teams then edit and package these stories for The Krempels Brain Injury Foundation website and distribution to local libraries, schools and universities.
