People are frightened & horrified. Then there are those who applaud this jackass & can’t see the severe damage he us causing. Yes, prices going up.

The arboreteum is lovely! And museum wonderful! Have fun 😊

So wonderful to read, yet so maddening at the same time. This paper is > 50 years old & still things are the same. These are exactly the same issues we have in aphasiology…..

My students in Cog Disorders are required to complete interactability. I may be responsible for 2% of those downloads 😄. (They love it & thanks!).

Ugh ugh ugh. As current editor of a journal, I am committed to sending Qual research only to reviewers who understand Qual research (….. you may be getting a request from me 🤣🤣).
I’m so sorry about this.

Cliff notes version: implementation efforts lead to better training for more SLPs = better services
January 20, 2025 at 9:48 PM
By con. orgs. do you mean orgs providing services/advocacy/knowledge to consumers impacted by aphasia? If so, furthering implementation of approaches with a positive impact on real-world needs of PWA/families would make such approaches more readily/globally available within these organizations. 1/2
January 20, 2025 at 9:47 PM
Investing in implementation. I think that combines all 3. Huge barrier is SLPs don’t have time/training/resources/support to change practice. (Spoken as having been a practicing Slonin The US x 22 yrs).

This definitely illustrates my process! I’m so foggy before I start writing that I don’t even try to do an outline. I just start writing. This method results in lotsa drafts though….

This is so absolutely fabulous. I am so filled with joy to learn the importance of this has reached this level of awareness and support. I hope trump can’t wreck it. Thank you for sharing Jose!

You know Linda, this question does such a great job of getting to the point, I’m going to ask it of my grad students when I teach aphasia next. I imagine it will immediately shape their thinking in a way that will help them make meaningful intervention choices.

Agree!!! Those are absolutely critical priorities. Stripped down to what I’d want first, or if services were so restricted as to allow extremely minimal services (as is so often the case), I’d go with ensuring family & friends had accurate knowledge and training to communicate with my loved one.

Really good question, kinda gets right to the point, doesn’t it?
For all of them to have an SLP who could teach them how to communicate with the person.

Didn’t know you were a NP! Assumed SLP 🙃. Thanks for your terrific work!

The Hobbit was read aloud to me at about 7. I read it and LOTR to my twins when they were 5.
