Overview
Brief Summary
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder, typically after stroke. Aphasia can be persisting and negatively impact upon participation in rehabilitation programs. Our study investigated the effects of implementing a communication partner training program on the communicative interactions between people with aphasia, health professionals and health professional students. It was found that communication partner training can increase the confidence and knowledge of communication strategies of allied health professionals and allied health professional students when communicating with people with aphasia.
