“…Other studies have gone into further depth exploring aphasia and communicative participation in specific communication situations. These have included exploring the impact on friendships characterized by interactions with fewer friends and smaller social networks (Davidson, Howe, Worrall, Hickson, & Togher, 2008); exploring barriers to use of technology such as cell phones (Greig, Harper, Hirst, Howe, & Davidson, 2008); finding ways to increase the accessibility of art venues such as museums and theaters (Duchan, Jennings, Barrett, & Butler, 2006); and exploring the use of public transit (Ashton et al, 2008). …”

“…Perhaps the strongest efforts have been made in the aphasia area by documenting the participation-focused priorities of individuals with aphasia (Glista & Pollens, 2007; Kagan & Simmons-Mackie, 2007; Worrall, 2006) and advocating for therapy approaches focused on participation and environmental modification such as educating and training communication partners (Chapey et al, 2000; Duchan et al, 2006; Hinckley & Packard, 2001; Kagan et al, 2001). These efforts may be a starting point for exploring how we can implement programs to improve communicative participation for a broader range of individuals with communication disorders.…”

Purpose To explore the similarities and differences in self-reported restrictions in communicative participation across different communication disorders in community-dwelling adults. Methods Interviews were conducted with 44 adults representing seven different medical conditions: spasmodic dysphonia, multiple sclerosis, stroke, stuttering, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and laryngectomy. This paper represents a secondary analysis of qualitative data collected in cognitive interviews during development of the Communicative Participation Item Bank. The data were analyzed to identify themes in participants’ experiences related to communicative participation. Results Participants described many situations in which they experienced interference in communicative participation. Two themes emerged from the data. The first theme was Interference is both “functional” and “emotional” in which participants defined interference as limitations in accomplishing tasks and emotional consequences. The second theme was “It depends” - Sources of interference in which participants described many variables that contribute to interference in participation. Participants had limited control of some variables such as symptoms and environmental contexts, but personal decisions and priorities also influenced participation. Conclusions Despite different impairments and activity limitations, participants described similar communicative participation restrictions. These similarities may have theoretical and clinical implications in terms of how we assess, treat and study the participation restrictions associated with communication disorders.

“…For example, Duchan, Jennings, Barrett, and Butler (2006); and Parr, Pound, & Hewitt (2006), developed programs to increase communication accessibility for people who have aphasia to health and social services as well as museum and arts courses in the community. Togher, Balandin, Young, Given, and Canty (2006) developed a multi-media package to improve legal professionals' knowledge and skills regarding effective communication with people who use AAC so that they would be better able to access the justice system.…”

Communication Access in the Library for Individuals who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication

Augmentative and Alternative Communication

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Libraries for All is a community-based program that aims to enhance communication access to the library for individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), by providing resources and instruction. The goals are to (a) provide communication boards, (b) complete facilitator training, and (c) promote the program. To accomplish these goals, four communication boards were created and provided to all public libraries in London, Ontario. A train-the-trainer model was employed to ensure that all members of the library staff were familiar with the boards and aware of strategies to communicate more effectively with individuals who use AAC. Marketing materials were sent to potential stakeholders. The success of the program in meeting these three goals is highlighted.

“…It has been called the social model. (Duchan, et al, 2006;Pound et al, 2007); and designing approaches to enhance a person's meaningful participation in selected areas of their lives (LPAA Project Group, 2000;Simmons-Mackie, 2000). An example of the partner training is to have partners make available visual material such as maps, pictures, and drawings to add supportive context to conversational interactions with people with aphasia (Kagan, 1998).…”

Frameworks used in cluttering treatments: Past, present, and future

BACKGROUND: This integrative review is of two literatures on cluttering treatments. It integrates into those two reviews a third literature to show an alternative way for cluttering to be treated in the future. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to encourage professionals involved in treating those who clutter to reflect on how conceptual frameworks can affect their treatment choices. METHODS: Works from three literatures on interventions are examined. Literatures covering two historic periods of cluttering treatments are compared to one another and to a third literature that offers an alternative framework for working with those who clutter. RESULTS: Treatment approaches to cluttering have almost universally focused on remediating impairments associated with the disorder. This impairment focus flows from a medical model –a model that views cluttering as a disease, located in the person, in need of remediation. An alternative framework, called the social model, one that focuses on the social conditions surrounding cluttering, is reviewed for its applicability to cluttering therapy. CONCLUSIONS: The medical model, used by authors since cluttering first appeared in the literature, carries within it assumptions about the selection and sequencing of clinical goals aimed at reducing cluttering symptoms. The social model alternative would likely shift the focus to working on ways for promoting the life participation of those who clutter. The applicability of social model practices to the treatment of cluttering is explored and encouraged.
