Why should we care about the Participation Model for therapy? Isn’t that just something for Aphasia therapy (LPAA)? Well, if your patients haven’t been hinting about this directly to you, then researchers have been publishing on what patients want in therapy. Sarah Baar of Honeycomb Speech Therapy has been combing the literature, implementing this model, and presenting on it for about 5 years now. The fruit of that work is in a tool (The Activity Studio!) that makes implementing the participation model in therapy a snap. Today’s conversation is a review of the literature supporting the need for us to shift our focus of therapy from a solely “impairment” activity model to a participation model.
