Temporal information processing as a basis for auditory comprehension: clinical evidence from aphasic patients.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: These results provide further clinical evidence supporting the thesis that TIP constitutes the core process incorporated in both language and attentional resources. The novel value of the present study is the indication for the first time in Slavic language users a clear coexistence of the 'timing-auditory comprehension-attention' relationships.

Outcomes of treatment targeting syntax production in people with Broca's-type aphasia: evidence from psycholinguistic assessment tasks and everyday conversation.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Improvement in language production in constrained assessment tasks may not impact on everyday conversations. Implications for further research are discussed, e.g. the need for bridging interventions between constrained and unconstrained contexts of language production. Clinical implications include the potential to streamline therapy planning and delivery by making use of rich, hybrid therapies to treat individuals with similar symptom profiles but with a range of underlying deficits.

The participants' perspective: how biographic-narrative intervention influences identity negotiation and quality of life in aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Our quantitative and qualitative results demonstrated the benefits associated with the biographic-narrative intervention. The participants' sense of self changed through the approach. The findings provide foundations for future work using biographic narrative interventions to influence QoL and identity renegotiation in people with aphasia.

Aphasia and literacy-the insider's perspective.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The findings are important at a general level in that they indicate that PWA are able to articulate their individual experiences and thoughts about literacy, i.e., reading and writing. Specifically, PWA in this study experience literacy as playing an essential part in their lives and the findings imply that personal experiences are important in the design of reading and writing interventions in speech and language therapy.

The novel language-systematic aphasia screening SAPS: screening-based therapy in combination with computerised home training.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: SAPS offers the assessment of an individual performance profile in order to derive sufficiently diversified, well-founded and specific treatment foci and to follow up changes in performance. The appending treatment regimen has shown to be effective for our participants. Thus, the study revealed feasibility of our approach. PMID: 29119652 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of animal, action and phonemic fluency in aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Verbal fluency, particularly animal fluency, is sensitive to even mild aphasia. PWA produced lexically simpler responses than their neurotypical peers. This study identifies the relevance of qualitative analysis of verbal fluency responses. PMID: 29160019 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

What 'form' does informal assessment take? A scoping review of the informal assessment literature for aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS: Several informal assessment methods are available to SLTs. However, information is mixed regarding when they might be used or how they might be applied in terms of their administration, documentation and analysis. PMID: 29542236 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Acute Aphasia IMplementation Study (AAIMS): a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: This study showed that a tailored implementation intervention targeting acute SLTs' aphasia management practices was feasible to deliver and acceptable for most participants. In addition, the interventions were potentially effective, particularly for the information provision behaviour targeted by Intervention A. It was possible partially to explain the mechanisms of behaviour change that occurred during the study. PMID: 30079573 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Reliability and stability of the metrical stress effect on segmental production accuracy in persons with apraxia of speech.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The results suggest that in English, as in German, the trochaic structure is more resistant to segmental errors in persons with AOS and aphasia, providing replication of the findings of Aichert et al. in 2016. Further, this effect is stable over repeated sampling occasions. Implications for clinical management of AOS include possible ways to scaffold item difficulty and potentially improve stimulus generalization. PMID: 31338954 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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]

Do caregiver proxy reports and congruence of client-proxy activity participation goals relate to quality of life in people with aphasia?
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: PWA have a variety of activity participation goals that can be integrated into intervention plans. Dependence on proxy respondents should be reduced as much as possible to support self-determination for PWA. What this paper adds What is already known on the subject Achieving activity participation goals is a key factor in QOL for PWA, but communicating about participation goals can be difficult for many of them. Because proxy reports by caregivers may not accurately reflect the interests and participation goals of PWA, this study examined how both PWA and their caregivers responded to an aph...

Impact of aphasia on communication in couples.
CONCLUSION & IMPLICATIONS: The results describe some of the consequences of aphasia on communication in couples. Clinicians could use interviews to understand the impact of aphasia on a couple's communication. This may help to design communication partner training (CPT) that better aligns with the particular needs of couples living with aphasia, acknowledging the importance of emotional dimensions of relationships. What this paper adds What is already known on the subject The general psychosocial impacts of aphasia on persons with aphasia and spouses are known. Their conversations have been described and used as a focu...

Do caregivers' personality and emotional intelligence modify their perception of relationship and communication with people with aphasia?
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Caregivers' positive attitude towards PWA is beneficial for the rehabilitation of communicative functions. Personality traits and emotional intelligence could modify the caregiver's strategy of coping with aphasia-related challenges and should be taken into consideration when providing support. What this paper adds What is already known on the subject Interpersonal communication must by definition involve at least two people. Therefore, there are a lot of approaches in SLT where support is given not only to the PWA but also to the communication partners. The most important group is significa...

Therapeutic relationships in aphasia rehabilitation: Using sociological theories to promote critical reflexivity.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: While therapists commonly value therapeutic relationships, social and structural factors consciously and unconsciously influence their ability to prioritize relational work. Sociological theories can provide new lenses on our practice that can assist therapists to be critically reflexive about practice, and to enact changes to how they work to enhance therapeutic relationships with clients. What this paper adds What is already known on the subject Therapeutic relationships are critical in aphasia rehabilitation. We have a good understanding of the different components of therapeutic relation...

Sustaining acute speech-language therapists' implementation of recommended aphasia practices: A mixed methods follow-up evaluation of a cluster RCT
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Implementation outcomes (i.e., practice changes) were not sustained to the same level for three of the four participating SLT teams, with variable or partial sustainment most common. While the factors influencing sustainability differed depending on the context and individuals involved, the most important factor influencing outcomes seemed to be the level to which behaviour-change processes and strategies were embedded within the SLT department. Future implementation studies should incorporate sustainability measures from the onset and include follow-ups and monitoring systems to help support su...
