AJSLP is closing out 2025 with a whole issue of aphasiology resources for clinicians! Learn about the special issue full of articles developed from the 53rd Clinical Aphasiology Conference in Context! https://academy.pubs.asha.org/2025/12/the-latest-aphasia-resources-for-clinicians-in-ajslp/

Just published in open access; we are tremendously proud to have contributed to this landmark paper: Brady et al. (2025). European Stroke Organisation Guideline on Aphasia Rehabilitation. European Stroke Journal 10(4), 1189-1220. doi.org/10.1177/2396...

Due to potential barriers to telepractice with nonspoken communication modalities, authors of this research article sought to evaluate the Multimodal Communication Treatment with discourse via telepractice for people with aphasia. https://on.asha.org/3MGEMrX

I've yet to see a hardcopy myself but Amazon has some actual photos posted.

Pleased to share our paper published online today! Highlighting the #stroke rehab unit experiences of stroke survivors with #aphasia @lindseythiel.bsky.social @basaphasia.bsky.social @clinacslt.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/eprint/MQ3E6...

Study sought to improve production of locative adjuncts in sentence & discourse tasks in persons w/ aphasia using implicit structural priming. They examined what factors impact degrees of structural priming effects. https://on.asha.org/4pft8SP @sigperspectives.bsky.social @csdisseminate.bsky.social

#JSLHR study evaluated the feasibility & effectiveness of the comprehensive, high-dose aphasia treatment (CHAT) program, a modified-ICAP, when implemented by a public rehabilitation facility in Brisbane, Australia. https://on.asha.org/4o1wLL9 @sigperspectives.bsky.social#JSLHR

Authors examined if phase synchrony index (PSI) from resting-state EEG could predict aphasia recovery after #stroke. PSI, particularly inter-temporal PSI, may reflect recovery-related changes in networks post-stroke and could be a biomarker of aphasia recovery. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

PhD application deadline Dec 15th Excited to bring on a mentee to advance our precision rehabilitation of anomia research at the intersection of #cogsci and #aphasia

Directly rating 4 key dimensions w/ an auditory-perceptual approach shows promise as a highly efficient way to analyze connected speech in aphasia; more work will be necessary to develop this approach for clinical applications. https://on.asha.org/3LtXbb7 @sigperspectives.bsky.social #SLPeeps

Measures of coping that are accessible to persons w/ aphasia are lacking. This #AJSLP article takes a step toward solving this problem by presenting a coping questionnaire, the Aphasia Brief COPE, standardized on persons w/ #aphasia. https://on.asha.org/47mSwid @sigperspectives.bsky.social#AJSLP

Our new paper on assessing conversations after brain injury is now OPEN ACCESS 📝🗣️ ✅ 5-min conversation ratings are more reliable & practical than 10-min ones ✅ MPC & MSC scales showed moderate reliability ✅ Scoring takes <30 min 👉 Read here: pubs.asha.org/doi/full/10....
