Abstract
Purpose: Keegan, Hoepner, et al. (2023) developed a framework for social, cognitive-communication assessment, which was intended to make social communication assessment efficient, comprehensive, and accessible to practicing clinicians.
Method: Feedback on the published framework was solicited from expert researchers and clinicians at a variety of conference meetings, including the 2023 International Brain Injury Association Congress, 2023 American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Convention, and 2024 International Cognitive-Communication Disorders Conference. The authors incorporated this feedback to develop an updated, clinically applicable framework of communication entitled Social Communication Implementable and Applicable Lens (SoCIAL). The goal of this update was to provide clinically applicable recommendations that clinicians can feasibly implement in their assessment of social communication.
Results: The SoCIAL framework is presented and described with the inclusion of contextual factors. The focus of the framework shifted to the scope of practice of a speech-language pathologist and their role in social communication. Practical, accessible methods and tools that can be applied in the context of this framework are identified and critically appraised.
Conclusions: This framework highlights the intersecting variables (contextual, social, personal, and environmental) that clinicians should consider during the assessment process and when working to support collaborative goal setting, as person-centered intervention is planned. While there is a growing literature base that supports a focus on social communication in context, there remains a disconnect between the literature and clinical application that current researchers and practitioners have an opportunity to address. It is our hope that the SoCIAL framework provides a framework for supporting clinical implementation and moving translational research forward.
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.
