More high-quality, experimental designs with complete reporting and psychometrically sound outcome measures are needed to strengthen the evidence base.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject Everyday conversation is an important therapy target for adults with ABI, but there is mixed evidence of therapy gains generalizing to everyday life. Many interventions reduce conversation to component parts such as naming or sentence constructi...
