ABSTRACT
Life evolves. And so too does speech-language treatment. Or at least it should. Twenty years ago my approach to working with aphasia focused on structured drills that could be represented on Base-10 forms. It was the same approach that was accepted and taught to young clinicians in universities throughout the United States. And looking back at the treatment I provided two decades ago, I truly regret that the people with whom I worked were so rarely given the opportunity to learn how to communicate and move forward with their aphasia.
