Summary: In this SIG 2 article series, participants explore innovative approaches for supporting the mental health and functional communication of people with chronic aphasia. The first article describes how speech-language pathologists can work collaboratively with other professionals to support the mental health of people with aphasia by outlining multiple evidence-based approaches and interventions. The second article describes a single- subject research study in which script training was employed with a person with chronic nonfluent aphasia to improve his functional communication over two to three therapy sessions with three different scripts. The third article explores the use of co-constructed storytelling to support life participation and identity reconstruction in people with chronic aphasia.

Summary: This Perspectives activity focuses on the assessment and treatment of school-age students with social language deficits. Articles focus on conversational profiles for students with autism and intervention strategies appropriate for students within each profile; the benefit of using analog tasks with toddlers through adolescents to evaluate social communication abilities and guide intervention; best practices in assessing students with social communication deficits; and how effective commercially available standardized tests are for evaluating the social and pragmatic language deficits of students with social pragmatic communication disorder within and separate from autism.
