Meaningful Aphasia Therapy with Sarah Baar MA, CCC-SLP

In this episode, Sarah Baar lays the foundation to revolutionize your aphasia therapy. Calling upon the framework described in Kagan’s 2011 article (link at speechuncensored.com),  Sarah brings tried and true methods to make language therapy functional for your patient’s communication needs. It’s more than naming opposites and listing words that begin with ‘b.’ Meaningful aphasia therapy is about understanding your patient’s personal interests, environmental needs/limitations, and participation in relationships, roles, and activities of choice. Once you know those things, you can have an impact on your patient’s communication abilities. 

Sarah welcomes any SLPs with questions to reach out and contact her via her webpage: Honeycomb Speech Therapy.  And because Sarah is so awesome, she’s offering a coupon for materials on her website: SUP10 (10% off total cart).
