The overwhelming majority of participants utilized caregiver training as the most frequent indirect technique.

This article describes three aphasia research initiatives that have followed from her early publications. The first is the application of the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to aphasia. The Living with Aphasia: A Framework for Outcome Measurement (A-FROM) is a reinterpretation of the ICF specifically as it applies to aphasia. The Assessment for Living with Aphasia (ALA) is an assessment that is derived from the A-FROM. The second initiative is the program of research that has described aphasia and aphasia rehabilitation from the patient perspective. Using qualitative methodologies, this research has highlighted the need for relationship-centred care in aphasia services. Finally, a current project is described that seeks to gain international consensus on a core outcome set for aphasia treatment research. This will help researchers combine data in effectiveness studies. To achieve the best outcomes for people with aphasia, there is a need to realize Carol Frattali's vision and ensure the continued use of unifying frameworks, relationship-centered practice, consumer-focused research, and consistent outcome measurement practices.","PeriodicalId":88628,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on neurophysiology and neurogenic speech and language disorders","volume":"102 1","pages":"107-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1044/NNSLD25.3.107","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57670855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, she defined the many possible outcomes that can be measured to examine the influence of an intervention and the ways in which these measures can inform public policy. Of these, patient or client centered measures, which index outcome based on the patient's and family's or caregiver's perspective, have received increasing attention in recent research and clinical practice. These measures examine a variety of patient reported outcomes (PRO) associated with health. PRO measures are being used more commonly in clinical practice and as end points in medical and rehabilitation outcomes research. This perspective reflects the shift in medicine and rehabilitation toward patient-centered care. In this article, we will examine the rationale for using PRO measures, the advantages and challenges f...","PeriodicalId":88628,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on neurophysiology and neurogenic speech and language disorders","volume":"25 1","pages":"114-120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1044/NNSLD25.3.114","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57670864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the patients on such medications are those with a puzzling mix of symptoms, diagnosed as “dementia syndrome of depression,” formerly termed “pseudodementia”. Cognitive-communicative changes, potentially due to medications, complicate the diagnosis even further. This discussion paper reviews the history of the terminology of “pseudodementia,” and examines the pharmacology given as treatment for depressive symptoms in the elderly population that can affect cognition and communication. Clinicians can reduce the risk of misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment by having an awareness of potential side effects, including decreased attention, memory, and reasoning capacities, particularly due to some anticholinergic medications. A team approach to care should include a cohesive effort directed at caution against over-medication, informed management of polypharmacology, enhancement of envi...","PeriodicalId":88628,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on neurophysiology and neurogenic speech and language disorders","volume":"25 1","pages":"61-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57670782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
