Aphasia Treatment
In this episode of Brain Friends, we discuss aphasia treatment and ways Speech Language Pathologists support recovery.
Treatment settings and strategies from automatic speech tasks to errorless learning are explained with examples.
Dr. Seles discusses health equity in aphasia and how to avoid implicit bias. How insurance demands dictate treatment tasks and ways SLPs can write treatment goals to align with function.
Angie shares the importance of inclusion in research, treatment, and the use of patient-reported outcomes. She discusses her treatment journey and the importance of the Life Participation Approach in Aphasia.
Together we recognize that in aphasia treatment “the client doesn’t plateau, the clinician does”.
