About this ebook

Patients with aphasia often struggle with perseveration, yet the treatments speech-language pathologists have to address this issue are extremely limited. If you are looking for a treatment for these clients consider The Clinician’s Guide to Reducing Aphasic Perseveration. Designed by the author and based on a theoretical understanding of lexical retrieval and perseveration, Reducing Aphasic Perseveration (RAP) systematically manipulates the time between the presentation of each picture in a target set to gradually reduce the activation of the perseveration and seeks to strengthen the activation of the target using Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA).

The Clinician’s Guide to Reducing Aphasic Perseveration provides a short and quick overview of the in-and-outs of RAP, including...
-- A step-by-step guide to implementing RAP,
-- A description the cues and supports needed to tailor RAP for each client,
-- A variation of RAP for use with Spanish speakers,
-- The theory underpinning the RAP process, and
-- The scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and patient perspective associated with RAP.

Emphasizing evidence-based practice, the bibliography includes active links to research articles and conference presentations as a source for additional research. Links to helpful online resources are provided to simplify treatment planning. While stimuli are not included, the author provides links to picture sets available online that can be used to quickly create treatment materials.

Author

Maria L. Munoz

Nearly 25 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist has given Maria L. Muñoz, Ph.D., CCC-SLP insight into the profession from the perspective of a student, a clinician, a researcher, a clinical supervisor, and an instructor. Her commitment to engage in and teach evidence-based practice led her to two questions: How do clinicians find the time and resources needed for EBP? Where do clinicians go to learn how to implement specific treatments? Not finding good answers to either question, she came up with one...Recipe SLP, the speech-language pathologist’s source for affordable evidence-based guides to the science and method of specific clinical practices. Dr. Muñoz is currently an associate professor in Fort Worth, TX. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin as a participant in the Multicultural Leadership Training Program, after which she completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Arizona. Dr. Muñoz has clinical experience working with adults and children with impairments in speech, language, and cognition. She teaches and provides clinical supervision in the area of acquired neurologically-based disorders of language and cognition in adults, particularly individuals who are Spanish speaking or bilingual. Additionally, she teaches courses related to the management of communication disorders in culturally and linguistically diverse individuals across the life span and a course in counseling individuals with communication impairments and their families. She conducts research on aphasia in bilinguals and Spanish speakers, as well as pedagogy in communication sciences and disorders. Her work has been published in a number of peer-reviewed journals including Aphasiology, American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, and Brain and Language.
