Abstract:
Lacking knowledge about the cognitive processes that underlie communication impairments in patients with right hemisphere damage (RHD) and driven by increasingly limited treatment duration, speech-language pathologists often give little thought to process-oriented treatment. However, operating from a theoretical perspective in which treatment targets the processes that underlie symptoms can result in more effective treatment of a range of symptoms due to a common processing impairment. This article provides research-driven therapeutic approaches based on sound theoretical perspectives that can be combined with task-specific therapy to maximize therapeutic outcomes with this clinical population.
