Speech and language therapy for primary progressive aphasia across the UK: A survey of current practice.

CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: This survey highlights the range of current PPA assessment and intervention practices in use by the respondents. Communication partner training is commonly used by the surveyed SLTs, despite the lack of research evidence examining its effectiveness for PPA. There is a need to develop evidence-based care pathways for people with PPA in order to advocate for further commissioning of clinical services. PMID: 31364253 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
