Evidence-Based Practice
According to the Clinical Guidelines of The Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists
(www.rcslt.org/resources, 2005) and the National Stroke Association (2006), the following therapy
principles are supported:
Communication, both verbal and nonverbal, is a fundamental human need. Meeting this need
by facilitating and enhancing communication in any form can be vital to a patient’s well-being.
Therapy should include tasks that focus on semantic processing, including semantic cueing
of spoken output, semantic judgments, categorization, and word-to-picture matching.
Therapy may target the comprehension and production of complex, as well as simple,
sentence forms.
Therapy should be conducted within natural communication environments.
Rehabilitation is an important part of recovering from a stroke, and the goal is to regain
as much independence as possible.
This book incorporates the above principles and is also based on expert professional practice.
