This journal self-study course examines remote treatment for aphasia, a topic that several researchers explored at the 51st Clinical Aphasiology Conference (CAC) in North Carolina. Published in a special issue of the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, these articles examine the effectiveness of telepractice delivery of three types of aphasia treatment: conversation group treatment, Combined Aphasia and Apraxia of Speech Treatment, and Sound Production Treatment. The articles compare outcomes of the treatments when administered remotely vs. in-person.
Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:
- Discuss the outcome measures that improved for people with aphasia who participated in conversation group treatment via telepractice vs. in person vs. those who did not participate in the treatment at all
- Discuss the acquisition and generalization outcomes for Combined Aphasia and Apraxia of Speech Treatment (CAAST) administered via telepractice vs. in person
- Discuss the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization outcomes for Sound Production Treatment (SPT) administered via telepractice vs. in person
