Marie-Pier McSween; Tasman Day; Jessica Hill; Sarah J. Wallace – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: There is increasing interest in the incorporation of animal-assisted services (AAS) in therapy for adults with acquired neurogenic communication disorders. AAS have the potential to enhance speech and language therapy engagement and outcomes. However, a greater understanding of the nature and potential benefits of these interventions…

Clapham, Renee P.; McKinley, Kathryn; Stone, Marissa; Candy, Mary-Anne; Candy, Phil; Carragher, Marcella; O'Halloran, Robyn – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Evidence should guide decisions in aphasia practice across the continuum of stroke care; however, evidence-practice gaps persist. This is particularly pertinent in the acute setting where 30% of people with stroke will have aphasia, and speech pathologists experience many challenges implementing evidence-based practice. This has…

Loizidou, Maria; Brotherhood, Emilie; Harding, Emma; Crutch, Sebastian; Warren, Jason D.; Hardy, Chris J. D.; Volkmer, Anna – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) describes a group of language-led dementias. PPAs are complex, diverse and difficult to diagnose, and therefore conventional models of aphasia and dementia treatment do not meet their needs. The research evidence on intervention for PPA is developing, but to date there are only a few case studies…

Jimenez Forero, Sonia J.; Palmer, Rebecca – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: In order to conduct research that is meaningful to speech and language therapy services and their patients, it is often desirable to conduct the research within routine clinical services. This can require considerable time and commitment from speech and language therapists (SLTs). It is therefore important to understand the impact that…

Gravier, Michelle L.; Hula, William D.; Johnson, Jeffrey P.; Autenreith, Alyssa; Dickey, Michael Walsh – Topics in Language Disorders, 2022
Purpose: To evaluate whether levels of cortisol, a stress-related hormone, predicted response to intensive speech-language intervention for individuals with chronic aphasia (IWA). Secondary analyses explored baseline cortisol levels, change following intervention, association between cortisol levels and aphasia severity, self-reported…

Thiessen, Amber; Brown, Jessica – Topics in Language Disorders, 2021
Speech-language pathologists serving individuals with aphasia must make many decisions regarding assessment and intervention practices to support comprehension and expression of language. Each of these decisions can influence the effectiveness of therapy and long-term functional outcomes for individuals with aphasia. One factor that must be…

Battista, Petronilla; Piccininni, Marco; Montembeault, Maxime; Messina, Annachiara; Minafra, Brigida; Miller, Bruce L.; Henry, Maya L.; Gorno Tempini, Maria Luisa; Grasso, Stephanie M. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background and Objectives: In Italy, approximately 650 individuals receive a diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) every year. Unfortunately, the frequency with which patients are referred to speech-language services is suboptimal, likely due to skepticism regarding the value of speech-language therapy in the context of neurodegeneration.…

Kong, Anthony Pak-Hin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Enhancing social participation and reducing emotional distress in persons with aphasia (PWA) are a critical rehabilitation goal. Social relationships and meaningful activities performed by PWA are also crucial to promote positive psychosocial well-being. As a precautionary measure specific to the COVID-19 pandemic, most PWA worldwide have…

Henry, Maya L.; Hubbard, H. Isabel; Grasso, Stephanie M.; Dial, Heather R.; Beeson, Pélagie M.; Miller, Bruce L.; Gorno-Tempini, Maria Luisa – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Recent studies confirm the utility of speech-language intervention in primary progressive aphasia (PPA); however, long-term outcomes, ideal dosage parameters, and relative benefits of intervention across clinical variants warrant additional investigation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether naming treatment affords…

Shrubsole, Kirstine; Rogers, Kris; Power, Emma – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: While implementation studies in aphasia management have shown promising improvements to clinical practice, it is currently unknown if aphasia implementation outcomes are sustained and what factors may influence clinical sustainability. Aims: To evaluate the sustainment (i.e., sustained improvement of aphasia management practices and…

Yao, Liqun; Zhao, Hongjia; Shen, Cuiling; Liu, Fang; Qiu, Li; Fu, Lisang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS) in patients with poststroke aphasia. Method: We comprehensively searched for eligible studies from 11 electronic medical databases from their inception to February 20, 2019. Randomized controlled…

Bruce, Carolyn; Newton, Caroline – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2019
Background: Many people with aphasia have word-finding difficulties, with some showing particular difficulties with verbs. Picture-naming therapy is often used to improve naming, but gains are usually limited to therapy items and do not transfer to conversation. Therapy where words are produced in sentences and in real-life activities may be more…

Cohen, Matthew L.; Harnish, Stacy M.; Lanzi, Alyssa M.; Brello, Jennifer; Victorson, David; Kisala, Pamela A.; Nandakumar, Ratna; Tulsky, David S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Background: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures produce scores that do not always have obvious clinical meaning. The PRO-bookmarking procedure is a new and promising way to make PRO measures more meaningful and interpretable. However, the materials and procedures of the task may benefit from adaptations to be more accessible to individuals…

Off, Catherine A.; Griffin, Jenna R.; Murray, Kirsten W.; Milman, Lisa – Topics in Language Disorders, 2019
Patient-centered care is extending the sphere of health care beyond the patient, focusing attention upon the family caregiver(s). In this context, patient-family relationships are at the center of consistent, well-developed interprofessional interventions that encompass caregiver education, training, and wellness. Cohort models of intervention…
