Speech-language pathologists often find it challenging to plan communicative intervention collaboratively with their clients who have aphasia. The collaborating partners arrive at the task with different perspectives and assumptions that can get in the way of shared responsibility. By clarifying planning objectives in terms that are both intuitive and comprehensive, speech-language pathologists can help their clients assume an active role in developing and implementing both long-term and short-term communication goals. In this course, Dr. Haley introduces a four-pronged intervention planning model for supporting the collaborative effort and ensuring comprehensive and communication-focused results. Application to aphasia management in an outpatient setting is illustrated through a case study.
