Publisher's Synopsis
The Life Participation Approach to Aphasia (LPAA) is an evolutionary change in the way practitioners view aphasia intervention. By focusing on meeting the needs of individuals affected by aphasia, LPAA can produce real, meaningful enhancement to the quality of life. This book breaks down the past, present, and future of the LPAA movement with contributions from a range of new and experienced practitioners. In addition, it provides a roadmap for professionals interested in incorporating person-centred intervention for aphasia and other neurogenic communication disorders, including primary progressive aphasia, dementia, and traumatic brain injury.
