Aims
Background
 Changes in communication abilities and language processing associated with
aphasia can have broad-ranging impact on daily life, affecting the quality and
quantity of everyday interactions and resulting in changed relationships, poor
vocational outcomes, and decreased quality-of-life and psychological wellbeing.
 Aphasia has also an impact on family members, in some instances leading to
depression, restriction in activities and relationships, and heightened
responsibilities.
 Since aphasia has a chronic nature, interventions should aim to enable
individuals to living successfully with aphasia (i.e. live successfully despite
their communication disability).
1) to help persons with aphasia coping with their chronic
disability;
2) to help persons with aphasia starting living successfully
with aphasia;
