Conversation treatment for people with aphasia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Gayle DeDe, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
Temple University

Conversation treatment for people with aphasia provides a way to address
individualized goals in the context of naturalistic conversation. Few studies
have directly examined the effects of conversation treatment. In addition, the
implementation of conversation treatment differs significantly across studies
and clinicians. Thus, the critical ingredients of this treatment have not been
specified. One fundamental question for any treatment approach is the ideal
number of participants. Conversation treatment can be offered in group,
dyadic, or individual sessions, but most studies have focused on groups. Group
conversation treatment has the potential to improve communication and reduce
social isolation, while also reducing medical costs. Larger groups offer
increased social support and other benefits, while smaller groups offer
participants more conversational turns. I will present results of a randomized
controlled trial that investigated the effects of conversation treatment in
large and small groups, in order to compare the relative benefits of group
dynamics and higher treatment intensity. This work is directly clinically
relevant, but also demonstrates how evidence-based principles derived from
group process theory and learning theory can be used to generate hypotheses
about the efficacy of different treatment formats.
