With all the developments and changes in aphasia therapy,
clinicians can have difficulty keeping abreast of the latest and greatest tools
and techniques to ensure they are selecting the best evidence-based treatment
option to fit a particular client’s needs and language abilities. This video
course uses the ASHA Practice Portal and other resources to explore case
studies and apply aphasia interventions to achieve functional goals for adults
of all ages. Presenter
Jacqueline Hinckley identifies candidacy requirements for numerous
aphasia interventions, reviews the procedures for using them, and discusses how to
fit them into required goal statements and outcome measures.
