Examples of actual patients and activities worked on....these were perfect for illustrating points. I LOVE this topic. More examples of therapy techniques for realizing functional communication progress would be great!!!! This could be a longer course with tons of examples drawn from some of the more common communication goals: texting friends, face timing, ordering food, following schedules, etc.

Having worked with patients with aphasia in the past, the questions and the answers to the questions were very relevant to working with that specific population. It was a great reinforcer to what I already knew and made me think of why I do certain things in my therapy sessions. It is very important for a clinician to evaluate many things before coming up with a therapy plan in order to maximize outcome for a client.

I think we sometimes get stuck as clinicians, with focusing on "what the test says" the problem is rather than focusing on the impact the specific goals will have on functional communication. Especially in this day of managed care and being limited to 6 sessions, 30 minutes each with some CVA in my LTC. Many good points that i will remember the next time my sessions and minutes are limited with an Aphasic patient.
