OUR VISION Our research community envisions a time when speech-language pathologists who work daily with people with aphasia in various clinical settings will: 1. imagine the "happiest ending" for and with the person with aphasia - prioritizing the client's values - and gear therapy toward that end; 2. know how to use interventions that are efficacious based on scientific evidence, and recognize interventions that are not yet shown to be efficacious; 3. make recommendations for treatment type, treatment schedule, and prognosis based on evidence, and not solely in response to financial policy constraints and productivity pressures; 4. recognize that clinical expertise is equally important as evidence in the implementation of best practice. |
