How can we prepare speech pathologists to deliver intensive aphasia rehabilitation online?
A new publication explores training for speech pathologists delivering TeleCHAT, a telerehabilitation intensive, comprehensive aphasia program (ICAP).
What did the study find?
Multimodal and targeted training can help speech pathologists feel confident and prepared to deliver ICAPs via telerehabilitation.
The findings highlight the value of using different training methods and providing training that is specific to the components of comprehensive aphasia therapy.
Why does this matter?
Telerehabilitation can provide another way for people with aphasia to access intensive and comprehensive rehabilitation. Ensuring speech pathologists are well prepared to deliver these programs is an important part of providing high-quality care online.
