I really appreciated the lecture. My father had a stroke 2 years ago and still is impacted by his aphasia. I feel like this course brings to light so much more than the traditional SLP mindset. This topic is meaningful and should not be forgotten. Thank you.

This course is excellent. The speaker explained various forms of discourse and how they can be used in therapy as well why each form is important for stroke/aphasia rehabilitation. The speaker chose excellent examples to create an informative AND entertaining presentation. The references/citations were also quite useful for finding more in depth information about the different forms of discourse in rehabilitation. I look forward to listening to other presentations by Tricia Olea Santos, PhD, CCC-SLP.

Please find presenters to talk (not read a written presentation) in more detail about more complex topics. Most of the lectures I find on this website are so basic and do not increase my knowledge base in any way. The content also does not expand every year. I try to find more complex learning each year on adult neurogenic topics/dysphagia/cranial nerves/aphasia but there seems to be no improvement or new presenters. It is discouraging and I'm thinking of not renewing my membership again.

I worked 12 years with home health patients and this course if very informative in tying the approach to language rehabilitation with the emotions of the patients. It is important as clinicians that we understand that this person is in fact mourning themselves while trying to listen to us on how to make themselves "the best" that they can be with what they have....

Loved this course because it looks into the purpose of communication. We're not simply treating word-finding ability...we're trying to help the person grasp their own life and experiences, and connect with others. Even if we are NOT going to rehabilitate their word-finding ability (thinking of those who have global aphasia that "sticks" and just never leads to functional communication in the long-term), we can still focus on their identity and connection to others.

by

I appreciate learning about the narrative, procedural and conversational discourse strategies which would help planning treatment session activities for PWA. Since both of my parents were stroke patients before they passed away, some of the Saving Face and acknowledging by PWA that they need to look at experiences in new and adaptive way discussions, did really hit home.

While I am currently not working with adult patients, I found this course helpful in maintaining my knowledge base related to aphasia and stroke. I particularly found this course insightful as it not only offered communication assessment and discourse interventions post-stroke, but also described the importance of caregivers and communication partners in further improving a PWA's ability to further improve their communication and quality of life.
