Aphasia therapy can reduce the level of communication disability but there is no “one size fits all” therapy approach. There is a large range of aphasia therapies with the evidence for new and more effective methods growing rapidly. Clinicians across the globe struggle to locate the details of how to implement these evidence-based methods into clinical practice.
The Aphasia Therapy Finder aims to overcome these challenges. We have created a searchable database of 25 high-quality evidence-based aphasia therapy methods. We have linked these methods to instructional videos and therapy materials so that clinicians can rapidly put the best therapy methods into practice and people with aphasia can receive high quality, evidence-based intervention. You can find the Aphasia Therapy Finder here: https://aphasiatherapyfinder.com/
The Aphasia Therapy Project was led by Professor Miranda Rose and was a joint project between the Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists (CATS) (www.aphasiatrials.org), The Tavistock Trust for Aphasia, and the Centre of Research Excellence in Aphasia Recovery and Rehabilitation (www.latrobe.edu.au/aphasiacre). We are now working to include additional evidence-based aphasia therapies and understand how to increase the use of the site across the world.
