Non-Financial: Dr. Patterson is a member of the executive board of the Academy of Communicative Disorders and Sciences. Dr. Hinckley is on the advisory board of the National Aphasia Association.
The purpose of this course is to explore in detail the process by which a clinician selects a therapy based on treatment goals. We will do this by using three case examples of individuals with different types and severities of aphasia. The two presenters will also discuss each case in terms of impairment-focused and participation-focused treatment choices.
