Course content & delivery was excellent...UNTIL she started taking questions, then delivery & flow/continuity suffered. Best to take all questions at end. I think sometimes participants make comments just to get that little stroke of recognition/validation by the presenter & questions can best be saved until the end of the presentation.

The language of the course was helpful in understanding what the presenter was saying but how I could relate the terminology to everyday treatment was too abstract. The point of the course was completely logical and something I use in my everyday treatment techniques. It is very important to use narratives with stroke patients and creating stories for more functional communication improvements.

The course highlights the importance and meaningfulness of the revised narrative for the person with aphasia to enable the PWA to process what they have lived through since their stroke and to reconstruct their identity accordingly.

Instead of just talking about studies, I would have preferred a lot more real-life experiences with patients with aphasia and examples of how the different approaches were implemented with individuals (since we're talking about identity here).

The presenter, Katie Strong, provided some Key Concepts; identity is not static, but continually evolves from environmental influences of validation or rejection: the significant others of a stroke/aphasia patient must also be considered during treatment, e.g. “How the stroke event affected their relationships with stroke patient,†and the inspiring video of patient talking about their personal narrative co-construction and how it made them so proud.

The speaker seemed discombobulated frequently. Her intonation and the inability to stop saying "um" between every other word made it very difficult to focus on this course. I also don't think a lot of helpful and specific information was given about how to implement this into treatment. Still left a lot of questions for me.

It was useful to have a review of the A-FROM and evidence based methods for using it to create a life story for someone living with aphasia. I think this is very important work and has the potential to help many patients.

by

It was enlightening to consider the relationship of communication and identity, and further to re-evaluate the role of the SLP in examining and treating that relationship.
by

on
April 30, 2019
We loved the references to evidence-based research and prior examples that support this approach. Dr. Strong's presentation provided a clear layout of "Why" - leaving listeners with useful resources to delve into afterwards in order to get started. The video and real examples strongly emphasized the need to facilitate identity through narratives into our clinical practice (how motivational?!).
by

The re-affirmation that targeting concepts like identity (in multiple populations /not just aphasic) is an essential part of clinical rehabilitation. Thank you.
by

The concept of focusing on the psycho-social issues of an aphasic person's identity, narratives and co-construction, helps maintain the person's quality of life at a higher level than simply improving speech and language skills during therapy.

Great presenter! Well organized! Dynamic! Good pace. The relationships of the Key Concepts of Identity, Narrative and Co-construction were thoroughly presented.Inspiring video of patient response!

It introduced me to using personal narratives with people with aphasia. It sounds very exciting and I can't wait to become more skilled to use this approach in therapy. I also enjoyed her discussion about "small stories" as my clients often want to share information with me at the beginning of the session. It makes me more cognizant to give them time to do son.

by

This course addresses the real QoL losses caused by aphasia and provides a structure for supporting client's telling their story. It's a challenge for SLPs to move beyond linguistic concreteness to addressing what language really is and how to re-access after neurological insult.
