Interactions were videotaped and engagement was coded for duration and type using the Menorah Park Engagement Scale (MPES). Findings support our conclusions that the duration of interactions and levels of engagement with individuals with dementia can be enhanced using a multisensory, facilitative approach. TH 11:00AM-12:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/278-282 Self-Determination & Life Activity Goals for People With Aphasia Katarina Haley, U of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC; Nancy Helm-Estabrooks, U of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC; Denise Caignon, U of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC; Jenny Womack, U of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC; Karen McCulloch, U of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC The Life Interests and Values (LIV) Cards were developed to allow individuals with severe aphasia to communicate about life activities that are important to them. In this 1-hour presentation, we describe how the material can be used to support self-determination in people with aphasia and how their choices can be integrated into an interdisciplinary treatment program. Thursday, november 19, 2009 TH 2:30PM-3:30PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/294 Adult Literacy Learners: Language & Learning Characteristics Lauren Fuselier, Appalachian St U, Boone, NC; Jessica Powell, Appalachian St U, Boone, NC; William Irwin, Appalachian St U, Boone, NC; Dawn Botts, Appalachian St U, Boone, NC A review of the literature on language impairment among adult literacy learners will be presented. Specific language and learning characteristics of the adult literacy learner population will be reported. Based on this information, potential roles of the SLP will be discussed. Additional discussion will focus on a funded project in which graduate student clinicians assessed the language skills of adult students enrolled in an adult basic education program. TH 11:00AM-12:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/344 An Advocacy Model of Care for Older Adult Rehabilitation Clare Coleman, Select Therapies, Avon, OH; Jennifer Meyer, Select Therapies, St. Louis, MO According to Medicare and OBRA Guidelines, residents in SNFs have the right to achieve and maintain their highest functional levels. As practitioners working with this population, it is our responsibility to provide patientcentered, results-oriented treatment in an effective and efficient manner. In this advocacy approach, treatment focuses on the residents' current abilities, interests, learning potential, and functional needs. Providing treatment in this manner will preserve their rights as SNF residents and prevent declines. TH 4:00PM-5:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/294 The Importance of Aphasia Groups for Rebuilding Community & Health Roberta Elman, Aphasia Ctr of California, Oakland, CA Recent interest in aphasia group treatment has been motivated by the potential benefits of working in a group environment. This session provides research evidence for the speech-language, psychosocial, and potential health outcomes of aphasia group participation. The history of aphasia groups consistent with a social model of health care and the life participation approach to aphasia will be traced and clinical applications, including specific treatment programs, will be described. Case studies and video clips will be shared. TH 8:00AM-9:00AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/295 Translating Messages Into Language: Long-Term Changes in a Broca's Aphasic Jacqueline Stark, Austrian Academy of Scis, Vienna The message or conceptual level is an integral part of every language production model. The raw material of an utterance is generated at this level. Language data from a Broca's aphasic are analyzed across a 7-year period in terms of changes in the ability to convey an intended meaning. The roles of conceptual accessibility, lexical accessibility, and lexical availability will be teased apart to illustrate how and why sentence production improved significantly. TH 8:00AM-9:00AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/383-385 Maximizing Cognitive-Communication Therapy Outcomes: Brain Injury Survivor & Clinician Perspectives Therese O'Neil-Pirozzi, Northeastern U/Spaulding Rehab Hosp, Boston, MA; Amy David, Amy David Consulting, Cambridge, MA The basis of a successful therapeutic relationship is the ongoing collaboration between client and clinician. In this presentation, we will discuss the cognitivecommunication therapeutic experience from the perspectives of a mild traumatic brain injury survivor and the clinician working with her. The World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health focuses on impairment and participation during therapy and the importance of the interpersonal relationship will be emphasized. Therapeutic strategies will be discussed. TH 11:00AM-12:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/295 Experience Sampling Method: SLP Intensive Treatment Quality of Life Measure Donna Fitzgerald-DeJean, Private Practioner, Baton Rouge, LA; Scott Rubin, Louisiana St U Hlth Svcs Ctr, New Orleans, LA; Russell Carson, Louisiana St U, Baton Rouge, LA The Experience Sampling Method is utilized to probe quality of life during intensive treatment for chronic brain injury. Twelve participants responded to four to five questions on a personal data assistant (PDA) following each treatment activity. When compared with the weekly group (N = 6; 3 hours/week), the intensive group (N = 6; 35 hours/week) was significantly happier and more satisfied with their communication, but activity-specific sampling was not significantly different. Discussion will include potential ESM applications. TH 4:00PM-5:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/343 Communication Partner Training in Aphasia: A Review of Treatment Approaches Nina Simmons-Mackie, Southeastern Louisiana U, Hammond, LA; Leora Cherney, Rehab Inst of Chicago, Chicago, IL; Anastasia Raymer, Old Dominion U, Norfolk, VA; Audrey Holland, Adler Aphasia Ctr, Maywood, NJ; Elizabeth Armstrong, Edith Cowan U, Perth (AU) This presentation summarizes the results of a systematic review of the treatment research literature on communication partner training in aphasia. The variety of treatment approaches that make up the category of communication partner training are described. including individual, dyad and group communication training, educational approaches (e.g., lectures), and counseling. We provide examples and details of each approach, including an assessment of its efficacy based on the critical review of its outcomes and methodological quality. TH 11:00AM-12:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/392 Treatment Planning for Individuals With Disorders of Consciousness Julie Fuith-Costa, Rehab Inst of Chicago, Chicago, IL; Ann Guernon, Marianjoy Rehab Hosp, Wheaton, IL With the increasing number of individuals surviving severe brain injury, speech pathologists face the challenge of developing appropriate and obtainable treatment plans. The rationale behind treating low-level individuals will be presented, as well as the importance of early therapy implementation. Treatment techniques, ideas, and goal planning will be discussed for individuals who are in vegetative and minimally conscious states. This course will be interactive, allowing participants to plan treatment based on case studies provided. TH 8:00AM-10:00AM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/396 Is There Anyone In There? Treatment of Minimally Conscious Patients Michael Gettleman, Inst for Rehab & Research Memorial Hermann, Houston, TX; Hannah Bass, Inst for Rehab & Research Memorial Hermann, Houston, TX With decreased length of acute care stays, there have been an increased number of minimally conscious patients entering a variety of rehabilitation settings at all stages of recovery. Assessments and treatment protocols for these patients are many times vague, unstructured, or functionally impractical. From dysphagia to functional outcomes in daily living, this session focuses on the continuum of care, evidence, and current research-based strategies and techniques for treating the minimally conscious patient.
