Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this tutorial is to provide a how-to so that clinicians can successfully implement augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) as a dual-purpose tool, one that successfully and simultaneously compensates for communication breakdowns and facilitates language recovery. Moreover, readers will understand two key principles of neuroplasticity as they apply to AAC implementation for people with aphasia (PWA), as well as the theory of intersystemic reorganization, by way of a novel treatment, Promoting AAC-Induced Language-Recovery in Chronic Aphasia (PAIL-RcA).
Method and procedure: Readers are provided a step-by-step overview of PAIL-RcA, as well as data sheets, cueing hierarchy, a family handout and prompt guides detailing how to successfully implement PAIL-RcA.
Conclusions: PAIL-RcA is a novel AAC treatment for PWA that is theoretically driven, manualized, and proven feasible with freely available resources for clinical implementation. Although PAIL-RcA was developed for storytelling and is highlighted for use on an iPad, we encourage adaptation for implementation across a variety of AAC systems and communication purposes.
期刊介绍：
Mission: AJSLP publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles on all aspects of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. The journal is an international outlet for clinical research pertaining to screening, detection, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. Because of its clinical orientation, the journal disseminates research findings applicable to diverse aspects of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. AJSLP seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work.
Scope: The broad field of speech-language pathology, including aphasia; apraxia of speech and childhood apraxia of speech; aural rehabilitation; augmentative and alternative communication; cognitive impairment; craniofacial disorders; dysarthria; fluency disorders; language disorders in children; speech sound disorders; swallowing, dysphagia, and feeding disorders; and voice disorders.
