Summary:

This book provides a comprehensive guide to Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Programmes (ICAPs), a service model designed to deliver personalized, high-dose speech and language therapy for individuals with aphasia. It addresses the challenges posed by underdosing in traditional healthcare settings, emphasizing the importance of intensive intervention for significant language recovery and improved quality of life. The authors offer practical insights into assessment, goal setting, intervention strategies, and outcome measurement, catering to both individuals with aphasia and their families. The book aims to support speech and language therapists in implementing ICAPs effectively, using evidence-based approaches to improve communication and participation in meaningful contexts such as social groups and employment. Intended for healthcare professionals, researchers, and caregivers, the text explores both in-person and teletherapy delivery models and highlights evolving practices in funding and service integration.
