This course includes three recorded sessions from the 2018 online conference “Improving Functional Outcomes in Aphasia.” These sessions discuss best practices for medical management, addressing cognitive impairments, and supporting patient care for individuals with aphasia. The conference included a total of 15 sessions, giving a comprehensive view of the current landscape of aphasia intervention as well as related subjects, including neuroplasticity, life participation, assessment, and more. Sessions explored practical treatment strategies to meet the needs of patients across the severity spectrum and in various treatment settings, as well as the unique needs of a range of patient subgroups.

The three sessions in this course are:

  • Neuroplasticity and Medical Management in Aphasia, by Peter Turkeltaub, MD, PhD (64 minutes)
  • Nonverbal Cognition in People With Aphasia: Implications for Treatment Planning, by Marjorie L. Nicholas, PhD, CCC-SLP (67 minutes)
  • Perspectives on Aphasia: Communication Breakdowns in Medical Settings, by David Dow, Carol Dow-Richards, and John Schultz, MD (30 minutes)
