Storying Hope: Partnering with Aphasia Clients for Meaningful Change

Presented by: Katie Strong, PhD, CCC-SLP

Life changes like stroke and aphasia threaten our sense of identity and place people with aphasia at risk for mental health issues. This course will explore how clinicians can use stories to support people with aphasia in navigating who they are and will be. Literature linking identity and story will be reviewed. Evidence-based methods for using story coconstruction in practice will be shared.
