This article describes Audrey's contributions which redefined communication disorders following TBI as being different from aphasia, leading to discourse and everyday communication being the gold standard for CCD assessment. Incorporating Professor Holland's influences, this article describes the advances made during the past two decades including the theoretical development of frameworks to inform clinical assessment; expert consensus guidelines that support the assessment of the individual in activities relating to their family life, their friends, their work, and their relationships; the policy from an International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) perspective; advances in technology including the use of automated discourse measures; TBIBank; and main concept analysis.

A scoping review of the literature published prior to March 2023 was conducted using CINAHL, Google Scholar, PubMed, and ERIC to identify gratitude interventions for adults with chronic health conditions. The search identified 414 studies. Five met the inclusion criteria. Interventions targeting chronic health conditions included alcohol use disorder, chronic heart failure, cancer, and asthma.

Four studies used journaling as the intervention and one used gratitude letters. All interventions used written or verbal expressions of gratitude.

The efficacy of short-term instruction, researcher coaching for student clinicians, and student clinician coaching of parents was evaluated using a multiple baseline across participants' design. The dependent variables were student clinician's and parent's use of elicitation techniques (creating communication temptations, waiting, and prompting) and response techniques (naturally reinforcing children's communication and providing spoken language models).

Using the World Health Organization's framework regarding IPP and the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) guidelines and competencies, this research attempted to identify what is working for practitioners when it comes to IPP and where opportunities for growth are still evident. The Collaborative Practice Assessment Tool was distributed to practitioners across disciplines, with a focus on speech-language pathologists and behavior analysts, and both qualitative and quantitative measures were analyzed to determine what reported IPP strategies are in use. Results indicated that practitioners are more similar than they are different when it comes to what is working with regard to the IPEC competencies (i.e., values/ethics for interprofessional practice, roles/responsibilities, interprofessional communication, and teams and teamwork) and where change is needed.
