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 on demand webinar focuses on case examples that demonstrate a language-based approach to managing echolalia, from delayed echolalia to self-generated language. Using video clips and language sample excerpts, the speakers describe the stages of gestalt language development, illustrate the varieties of echolalia, and review case examples of the successful use of the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) protocol to support gestalt language development in three individuals. The speakers also propose transparent terminology that can be used to help explain NLA to colleagues and families.
