Image use in aphasia rehabilitation: Practices of speech-language pathologists in South Africa and international contexts
Speech-language pathologists in this sample have a knowledge base of image types and factors that may contribute to image interpretation in people living with aphasia. However, further research globally is needed. A structured approach to image selection is lacking in both low and middle-income, and high-income countries. Considering people living with aphasia's skills, preferences, and communication partner involvement may optimise image use. Development of a framework for systematically organising image features for people living with aphasia is warranted.
