1. Auditory Comprehension Deficit: Evidence-Based Treatment Protocols
Recent research suggests that treatment for auditory comprehension deficit accompanying aphasia can be effective. However, the evidence for these treatment protocols is limited and variable in quality, therefore complicating the clinical decision-making process and reducing confidence in the applicability of a particular technique in a clinical environment. This chapter reviews components of selected protocols, including the theoretical rationale for the protocol; the type of treatment: auditory modality, mixed modality, or indirect; and specific clinical actions required during treatment.
2. Program Drift, Voltage Drop, and Treatment Fidelity: Determining the Best Match Between a Person With Aphasia, a Treatment Protocol, and a Clinical Setting
Attaining the optimal outcome of a treatment protocol is influenced by many variables, including client-related, clinician-related, and facility-related factors. This chapter discusses factors related to program drift and voltage drop, both of which affect treatment fidelity and reduce the effectiveness of a treatment protocol when delivered in a clinical environment.
3. Treatment Outcome: Planning Client-Centered Treatment and Measuring Outcome
Crucial to achieving an optimal outcome is linking the theoretical rationale for a treatment; the communication aims set for a client and factors that may interfere with achieving those aims; conditions under which protocol modification is warranted; and reasons for modification. In this course, a method for linking these knowledge components will be presented as a pathway to planning client-centered treatment and selecting situationally relevant outcome measures.
