The Scientific Basis for Contextualized Treatment

Jacqueline Hinckley, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
Nova Southeastern University

Decontextualized treatment, also called “impairment-focused” or
“skill-based”, plays a significant role in studies of neurological,
linguistic, and/or cognitive changes associated with intervention.
Contextualized treatment, also sometimes called “activity-focused”, is
based on practice-based evidence, and also on clinician and client
preferences. In this presentation, we will first explore the potential
neurological bases for contextualized treatment. Cognitive theoretical
approaches, including episodic or instance-based theories, also lay
the groundwork for predictions about contextualized treatment. Results
from a group of 40 adults with aphasia who were randomly assigned to
either contextualized or decontextualized treatment suggest that there
are differential immediate and follow-up outcomes from the two
approaches. Differential outcomes are also associated with aphasia
severity and nonlanguage cognitive abilities. Contextualized treatment
has a scientific foundation, can be operationalized, and is motivated
by policy and practical motivations that make it an important approach
to investigate more systematically. The results also point to next
steps in the pursuit of personalizing treatment and involving people
with aphasia more directly in treatment choice decisions.
