Implementing Spoken Discourse Analysis in Clinical Aphasia Practice: A Virtual
Future

Lucy Bryant, Ph.D., CPSP
University of Technology, Sydney

Functional communication use is a key concern for adults with aphasia, who
desire a return to the social, occupational and leisure activities they
enjoyed prior to onset. However, the process for assessing and treating
functional use of language is complex. Existing literature is rich with
examples of researchers measuring features of discourse in an attempt to
assess and treat functional language. The translation of this research into
clinical practice is less clear. Clinicians report barriers to analysing
discourse relating to resources, time, and knowledge that can be hard to
overcome. This presentation will provide an overview of the principles of
discourse analysis in aphasia, and ongoing initiatives to solidify the
evidence-base to support clinical implementation. In particular, the emergence
of virtual reality technology will be examined with reference to the
opportunities it presents to assess and treat functional communication in
clinical settings.
