Planning Speech and Language Therapy Interventions for Adults with Neurogenic Communication Disorders

Authors

Abstract

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), emphasizes the need for health interventions to be tailored to each patient's unique requirements. In Chile, there are currently no consistent guidelines for the design of treatment plans. This lack of structure for speech-language therapy interventions hinders the communication between professionals and, therefore, the possibility to plan adequate therapeutic intervention. This article aims to provide a theoretical and conceptual framework that facilitates structured therapeutic planning for adult patients with neurogenic communication and/or linguistic difficulties, following international standards. A critical review was carried out, with a narrative-conceptual structure and intentional sampling of current theoretical proposals. A set of theoretical tools is proposed within the framework of the ICF model, in order to facilitate the work of speech-language therapists.
