A potential solution for clinicians is to enlist the help of family members or close friends to determine what life activities should be addressed. In this article, we review two main reasons this solution is not ideal. First, we discuss how negative effects on autonomy and motivation may be instigated unintentionally. Next, we consider to what extent accurate input can be assumed by proxy responders. We conclude by reporting the results of a small study showing that congruence about activity choices among family members or friends not affected by aphasia is similar to previously reported congruence in families with a history of aphasia. These results suggest that ability to predict life activity preferences in others is limited, regardless of the presence of aphasia. We contend that although the input and participation of significant others is of...","PeriodicalId":88628,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on neurophysiology and neurogenic speech and language disorders","volume":"25 1","pages":"12-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57669920","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}

We define telepractice and its two modes of delivery (i.e., synchronous and asynchronous). We detail a technology, web-Oral Reading for Language in Aphasia (webORLATM), developed to provide aphasia treatment intensively from a distance and subsequently evaluated during a clinical trial. In this article, we describe our experiences using web-ORLATM, highlighting the role of the speech-language pathologist (SLP) and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of this unique combination of synchronous and asynchronous telepractice. Web-ORLATM was delivered to PWAs in their homes by a digital agent, or “virtual therapist,” who served as a model and provided instructions similarly to a real therapist. An SLP at a distant geographical location monitored the sessions remotely, either synchronously or asynchronously, provided feedback, made appropriate adjustments to the difficulty level of the stimuli, and conducted weekly probe assessments of the participants’ performance. Advantages of web-ORLATM include increased practice, SLP oversight, guidance by the agent, program simplicity, and a level of autonomy and flexibility afforded to the PWA. Given the rapid advances in technology, current technological problems that were encountered are likely to be mitigated. Advances in telecommunication technology hold great promise as a means of delivering speech and language services to an increasing number of people, regardless of location, with greater intensity, and over longer periods of time, thereby overcoming barriers to treatment accessibility, therapist time, and cost. Furthermore, technology that provides an opportunity for more intensive treatment can be a crucial aspect of rehabilitation for a person with aphasia (PWA), given that research indicates intensive treatment is more efficacious than treatment applied less frequently (Cherney, Patterson, Raymer, Frymark, & Schooling, 2008, 2010).

Among these changes, in keeping with the concept of client-centered care, is a trend toward more collaborative goal-setting and joint determination of intervention plans. Evidence suggests that supporting clients' autonomy in prioritizing personally meaningful goals leads to increased engagement in intervention, less emotional anxiety about the rehabilitation process, and improved treatment outcomes. Supporting people with aphasia in a process of collaborative goal formulation may also serve to alter treatment priorities so that they address more relevant communication challenges embedded in post-rehabilitation life.","PeriodicalId":88628,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on neurophysiology and neurogenic speech and language disorders","volume":"22 1","pages":"28-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1044/NNSLD22.1.28","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57669942","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}
