Description

How can we best implement communication partner training with familiar partners of people with aphasia?

In this International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders paper the authors set out to:
(1) determine the perceived and/or observed barriers and facilitators to implementing CPT with familiar partners of adults with aphasia;
(2) to map extracted barriers and facilitators to a common theoretical framework; (3) to synthesise extracted barriers and facilitators; 
and (4) to identify potential implementation strategies to address the most frequently identified barriers and facilitators.
 

Authors Kirstine Shrubsole, Emma Power, Marie-Christine Hallé were awarded the IJLCD 2023 Editors' prize for this paper. 

The paper is:
Communication partner training with familiar partners of people with aphasia: A systematic review and synthesis of barriers and facilitators to implementation
