Outcomes of a Life Participation Approach to Aphasia Treatment in Persons with Aphasia: The correlation between dose and confidence

Abstract Details

2017, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Speech Language Pathology.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia (LPAA) on communication confidence through the use of the Communication Confidence Rating Scale for Aphasia (CCRSA) (LPAA Project Group, 2001; Cherney, Babbit, Semik, & Heinemann, 2011). Retrospective data was obtained from eight persons with aphasia who had participated in an LPAA program. A significant difference was found regarding participation in the LPAA program compared to a change in CCRSA scores. Additionally, there was no correlation between the amount of time spent within the program and the change in CCRSA scores. These findings are compared to others’ in the literature and support the call for continued investigation of communication confidence in persons with aphasia.
