Estimating the Cost and Value of Functional Changes in Communication Ability Following Telepractice Treatment for Aphasia

Estimating the Cost and Value of Functional Changes in Communication Ability Following Telepractice Treatment for Aphasia

The research article titled "Estimating the cost and value of functional changes in communication ability following telepractice treatment for aphasia" provides critical insights for practitioners aiming to enhance their therapeutic interventions. The study, conducted by Jacobs and Ellis (2021), underscores the importance of evaluating both the cost and the value of functional improvements in patients with aphasia, particularly through telepractice methods.

Aphasia, a condition that affects communication abilities, often requires long-term rehabilitation. Traditional face-to-face therapy can be costly and inaccessible for many. This study focused on the cost-effectiveness of telepractice treatments, making it highly relevant for modern therapeutic settings, especially those like TinyEYE that provide online therapy services to schools.

Key Findings

Implementing Findings in Practice

Practitioners can leverage these findings to enhance their therapeutic approaches in several ways:

Encouraging Further Research

This study is a significant step toward understanding the cost and value of aphasia treatments, but further research is needed. Practitioners are encouraged to explore additional studies to validate these findings and to investigate other variables that may impact treatment outcomes.
