Using Images With Individuals With Aphasia: Current Research and Clinical Trends

American Journal of Speech-language Pathology
Jessica Brown, Amber Thiessen

Abstract

Visuographic supports in the form of images are utilized during assessment and treatment for individuals with aphasia to supplement speech, language, and cognitive losses limiting communication. Clinicians rely on prior experience and intuition to make decisions regarding image-based support design and selection (e.g., augmentative and alternative communication strategies). Researchers have begun to focus on the relationship between the images and the benefits they provide for adults with aphasia. The aim of this review-resulting from a roundtable discussion at the 2016 Clinical Aphasiology Conference-was to disseminate summaries of current and past researches regarding image use by individuals with aphasia and to highlight areas of need within research and practice. Review of the literature illuminated 4 major themes: (a) image creation, capture, and sharing; (b) image characteristics; (c) image use across linguistic domains and contexts; and (d) implications for clinical and research practices. Reviewing current knowledge and practice regarding the use of visual supports for individuals with aphasia is essential to advancing therapeutic practices and providing evidence-based protocols for creating, selecting, and implementing...Continue Reading
