Predictors of Response to Semantic and Phonological Treatment for Aphasia

Alexandra Basilakos, PhD, CCC-SLP, & Sigfus Kristinnson, MSc
University of South Carolina

Although studies have shown that aphasia therapy is successful, research
regarding indicators of therapeutic success have not unanimously identified
patient characteristics that predict who is likely to recover when provided a
specific therapeutic approach. The ability to determine who is likely to
recover, and from which treatment approach, may potentially increase the
efficiency of assessment and personalized treatment planning for clinicians
who treat people with aphasia. Accordingly, the POLAR (Predicting Outcomes of
Language Rehabilitation) trial was initiated to investigate predictors of
treatment recovery in a large sample of individuals (N=120) with chronic
aphasia. Ultimately, the trial serves as an effort to improve clinical
management of aphasia. This presentation will provide an overview of the POLAR
trial and discuss preliminary analyses of biographical and
cognitive-linguistic predictors of outcome obtained to-date. These analyses
will focus on the effects of different treatment approaches, as well as
long-term retention. Implications of these results will be discussed with
regard to the aphasia treatment literature.
