This issue of Perspectives is devoted to attention in aphasia. Included is a theoretical rationale for addressing attention deficits in patients with aphasia, suggestions of valid procedures for assessing attention-language–impaired persons, and two examples of attention treatment methods that resulted in improved language/communication performances in people with aphasia (PWA).

This issue of Perspectives focuses on the use of telepractice technology to implement therapy for neurogenic cognitive-communicative disorders. In particular, three of the articles review therapy interventions that have been delivered using this technology, including Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT), Oral Reading for Language in Aphasia (ORLA), and direct attention training (Sohlberg, Avery, Kennedy et al., 2003). The fourth article examines the training of graduate students in speech-language pathology to use telerehabilitation tools in clinical practice. Delivering therapy remotely, increases the ability of individuals with speech, language, and cognitive deficits to access intervention and supplemental practice. Training the next generation of clinicians to use this technology will make this option available to more individuals with cognitive-communicative disorders.

This issue of Perspectives is about self-determination in aphasia rehabilitation. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is a framework for explaining how social and cultural factors can either facilitate or undermine people’s motivation, well-being, and performance. The SDT framework has obvious implications for rehabilitation and for adjusting to life with aphasia. Authors discuss this rationale, along with a variety of useful strategies for supporting self-determination in people with aphasia (PWA).

Although many SLPs who work with individuals with neurological impairments address reading problems, until recently the focus has been on facilitating basic skills or teaching compensatory strategies required for basic reading activities, such as reading a menu or finding the main idea and supporting details of a four- to five-paragraph article. As high-level reading problems become a greater priority, many SLPs report concerns that they do not have the skills or knowledge base to address these problems. This issue of Perspectives is dedicated to high-level reading issues related to neurological impairments.

This issue of Perspectives begins with an overview of the management of the sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI) from a variety of different perspectives. The authors discuss the management of TBI as a trauma surgeon, from acute care to rehabilitation and return to the community; the implementation of a program, Attention Improvement Management (AIM), designed to help children and adolescents with TBI who demonstrate attention problems; and Project BRAIN, an innovative project designed to address challenges related to managing school-age children who have sustained TBIs.

This issue of Perspectives focuses on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Traditionally, determination of treatment effectiveness has been based on clinicians’ evaluation of patients’ progress. However, several developments have spurred SLPs to incorporate patients’ perspectives into the appraisal of deficits, planning of treatment, and evaluation of progress.

Speech-language pathologists are increasingly called upon to screen, identify, and
evaluate mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Speech-language pathologists should have a
working knowledge of the diagnostic criteria of MCI, risk factors for developing MCI and
dementia, and preventative measures; an understanding of therapy techniques; and an
understanding of normal versus pathological cognitive changes as the population ages.
This issue of Perspectives aims to provide clinicians with information regarding normal
aging and MCI.
