Question 30 - EVIDENCE-BASED EDUCATION: Currently, which of the following are<br />

enablers and which are barriers in determining what you actually work on in therapy with people<br />

with aphasia.<br />

Comments:<br />

Funding<br />

• On-line information is available but usually tied into a fee to access which makes it a<br />

barrier. It would be nice to have a specific website to go for therapy techniques when<br />

starting out in stroke rehab<br />

Support<br />

• Lack of organizational support for above in acute care hospital and in community,<br />

especially community care access services.<br />

Training<br />

• I took the <strong>Aphasia</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> (AI) "Train the Trainer" course, and have used the materials to<br />

train staff, families and volunteers - very useful. AI pictographic resources were donated to<br />

our hospital by Central East Stroke Network - very useful. I find "speechpathology.com" a<br />

very inexpensive continuing ed resource.<br />

• Training in adult AAC- low and high tech- enabler for me<br />

• Time for PD is limited.<br />

• We've had difficulty getting enough people to run education for family.<br />

Other<br />

• I own a private practice which specializes in stroke care. We just completed a telehealth<br />

project which we hope to present at the Canadian Stroke Network Conference.<br />
