Podcasts about Coppens

Een kabinetsval en alle talkshows komen van stal. Een goed moment om Goedenavond Nederland, Vier avonden op rij en De Oranjezomer langs de meetlat te leggen. En is de terugkeer van Vandaag Inside en Eva Jinek een motie van wantrouwen voor Hila Noorzai en Johnny de Mol? Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden was deze week ook in het nieuws. Er is kritiek op de soap vanwege onder meer vele wisselingen in de cast, personages die buiten beeld sterven en een verhaallijn over vloggen. Mediajournalist Mark den Blanken is weer terug, hij sprak met de makers en geeft tekst en uitleg. Het bezoek van Tino Martin aan Shownieuws passeert de revue. Presentator Manuel Venderbos was zelf aanwezig aan het hoofd van de tafel toen de zanger moeilijk en onhandig uit zijn woorden kwam. Zo sprak hij weinig tactvol over Suzan & Freek. Venderbos denkt niet dat hij dronken was. "In het reclameblok is er overleg geweest, dat hij niet meer terug zou komen." Ook wordt het goed scorende Code van Coppens in het zonnetje gezet. Staat een gesprek over leven en de dood van Coen Verbraak met Suzanne Bosman in Angela's etalage en laat Dennis Jansen een bijzonder fragment van Martin van Waardenberg uit een podcast horen. Luisteren dus!

In deze podcastspecial spreken we met Pascal Coppens, sinoloog en veelgevraagd spreker in binnen- en buitenland over Chinese innovatie. Wat kunnen we in het Westen leren van Chinese apps zoals Temu en TikTok?

Vandaag spreken we met Rika Coppens, CEO van House of HR (de groep boven Accent), over arbeidsmigratie & internationale rekrutering alsook onze werkcultuur.We hebben het over wat er écht speelt op de arbeidsmarkt: van uitzendarbeid als graadmeter tot schrijnende verhalen over detachering. We botsen op het spanningsveld tussen hoog- en laaggeschoold werk en de impact hiervan op onze werkende klasse. Rika deelt inzichten over hoe je als bedrijf toch nog menselijk probeert te blijven alsook efficiënt. Van daaruit duiken we dieper in het leiderschap en 'hierarchy' - ook hoe dit verschilt per cultuur.Richting einde denken we luidop na of enkel maar meer verdienen naarmate men ouder wordt, altijd logisch is.

We starten het nieuwe jaar met een frisse blik op het visuele aspect van muziek. Want laten we eerlijk zijn: geen single of album is compleet zonder doordacht artwork. Maar hoe pak je dat aan, en waarom is een sterke creatieve richting zo bepalend voor het succes van een artiest? In deze aflevering bespreken we het allemaal met Arthur Coppens, Senior Creative Manager bij Helix Records. Arthur begon zijn carrière als jonge graphic designer met een passie voor muziek en waagde de sprong naar Londen. Daar bouwde hij zijn reputatie op in de labelwereld als in-house designer en droeg hij ondertussen al bij aan de visuele identiteit van internationale artiesten zoals Nile Rodgers, Netsky, Gavin James. Samen met Arthur duiken we in de creatieve denkoefening die achter muziek schuilt, hoe visuele storytelling artiesten kan versterken en welke trends momenteel de toon zetten in artwork.

In a lively conversation from TED's brand-new Next Stage, social scientist Kasley Killam, technologist Apolinário Passos and futurist AC Coppens explore the intricate dynamics of human-AI relationships — and show how AI is already changing the ways we live, work and connect with each other. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Dr. Janet Patterson: Welcome to this Aphasia Access Aphasia Conversations Podcast, a series of conversations about the LPAA model and aphasia programs that follow this model. My name is Janet Patterson, and I am a research speech-language pathologist at the VA Northern California Healthcare System in Martinez, California. Today, I am delighted to be speaking with Dr. Elizabeth Madden, an Assistant Professor at Florida State University in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders and an affiliate of the Institute for Successful Longevity. Liz also leads the FSU Aphasia Research Laboratory. Liz's research, teaching and clinical interests focus on rehabilitation of aphasia, and specifically on understanding the relationship between spoken and written language abilities in individuals with aphasia and developing behavioral treatments to address reading and writing disorders post stroke. Her work also addresses the impact of aphasia on the friendships and social well-being of people with aphasia and their care partners. These Show Notes accompany the conversation with Liz but are not a verbatim transcript.   In today's episode you will hear about: the power of friendship and what people with aphasia and care partners think about how aphasia can affect the ability to create and sustain friendships, the definition of literacy and its behavioral components, and behavioral treatments for reading comprehension deficit in aphasia.   In 2024, Liz was named a Distinguished Scholar USA by the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia UK. The Tavistock Trust aims to help improve the quality of life for those with aphasia, their families and care partners by addressing research capacity related to quality-of-life issues in aphasia. Congratulations on receiving this honor, Liz. Aphasia Access collaborates with the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia in selecting the awardees and is pleased to have the opportunity to discuss their work and the career influence of the Tavistock Award.   Welcome Liz, to Aphasia Access Conversations.   Dr. Liz Madden: Thank you, Janet. I'm really happy to be here today. I also say thank you to Aphasia Access and to the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia. I'm very grateful for this award and excited to have this conversation.   Janet: I'm excited to be talking to you, my friend and research partner in several endeavors that we've been working on over the last few years.   Liz, as we've said, you were named a Tavistock Trust Distinguished Scholar USA for this year, and you join a talented and dedicated group of individuals. How has receiving the Tavistock Award influenced your clinical and research efforts in aphasia,   Liz: I first wanted to extend that thank you to the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia, and specifically Henrietta, the Duchess of Bedford and the honorable Nicole Campbell, and just a very gracious, sincere thank you for all the time and effort and support they give to aphasia researchers. I would say, I'm just delighted and very humbled to be recognized this year. I would say further that this award motivates my work that is focused on trying to really make an impact on the lives and quality of life and successful living for people who have aphasia and continuing my work. My beginning work was really more impairment focused, which some of that we will talk about, and I really value that. But having this award, and the more I stay in the field, it is extending that and making sure that everything I'm doing always is directly related to helping the lives of people with aphasia.   Janet: That leads right into the question I'd like to begin with Liz, which is about your recent work investigating the role of friendship for persons with aphasia. I believe in the power of friendship and community during joyful times and also during the sad times in one's life. In Aphasia. Access podcast episode number 119, Finding the person in front of aphasia, I talked with your friend and colleague, Dr Lauren Bislick, with whom I believe you collaborate to investigate friendship and aphasia. How did you become interested in this aspect of aphasia, and what can you tell us about your work in this area and your collaboration with Lauren?   Liz: Lauren and I did our Ph.D.'s together. We both were mentored by Diane Kendall at the University of Washington, so Lauren and I are Ph.D. sisters. Also, we were both at Project Bridge, led by Dr. Jackie Hinkley in 2018. That's really where my interest in friendship began. That conference brought together researchers, speech-language pathologists, people with aphasia, and their friends and family. I was the researcher at a table, and we ended up being Team Friendship. Lauren was also at this meeting, but she was at Team Yoga; Lauren does a lot of work with friendship, but also with yoga. My other colleague who does a lot of friendship work with me is Dr. Michelle Therrien here at FSU. She primarily works with children who use AAC, but her main research is friendship. She and I had already had some conversations about the importance of friendship, particularly for people who have communication disorders. The idea was we leave the conference and to take action and carry out some of the goals that were generated from that discussion. So that's when I reached back out to Lauren, because she was at that conference. Then I also reached out to my friend, Michelle Therrien, and other individuals who became part of our Team Friendship, Dr. Sarah Wallace, who's also one of our good friends and collaborators, and Rachel Gough Albritton who is one of Jackie Hinkley's former doc students and here at FSU as well. and the office of research. That is the background of some conversations before Project Bridge, but really for me, coming back and actually starting studies addressing different aspects of friendship, which I know we'll talk more about, was really brought about by the Project Bridge conference.   Janet: That is quite a story, and I can see you sitting around the table and developing Team Friendship - good for you.   We all know, Liz, that one of the unfortunate consequences of aphasia can be the loss of or the diminishing of friendships, or the disruption of the communication skills important to developing and sustaining friendship and community. What have you learned from people with aphasia about their successes and challenges in sustaining and creating new friendships.   Liz: Yes, good question. Well, at that conference that I mentioned, there were five or six people with aphasia, and initially our table was labeled something like, What happens in the long run? and we started having conversations. It was very clear after our initial conversation that the group centered on relationships and friendship, so we shifted to being friendship only. I will say, just at that table, it became very clear to me, that's what rose to the top when the group was thinking about the bigger picture of living life.   In a research project we've done there was a small sample of 15 people with aphasia, and we talked to them over time. I think the timing of a conversation is really something important to keep in mind when we're talking to people with aphasia about any topic, of course, but particularly friendship. From other studies we've noticed that responses are really different. If we're talking during the early days, maybe the acute days, versus the chronic days, we'd get really different responses. Just a quick summary, again, this was 15 people and a unique set. Most people in our study were a part of aphasia groups, and, of course, really motivated to do research. But I will say, when we looked at their responses, when asked to think back to the early days, all different aspects of friendship, how supported they felt, or how they were able to communicate, and we compared it to their responses in the now. Overall, the pattern was less satisfaction, feeling less supported or less able to engage in those earlier days, but more of a recovery pattern over time, but again, not for everybody. There were still a few people in our group that were reporting not having many friends. Our paper had a different light, a positive light about friendships. Some of the other papers out there have a more negative tone. It's a very important area we need to address. I was happy to see this group reporting, now that they had been living with aphasia for several years, their pattern of more negative responses early, and a recovering pattern now. They reported making friends with other people who have aphasia, and finding at this point, who are those good friends.   There's other great work being done by other colleagues, Brent Archer, Jamie Azios and Katie Strong, who are studying the same topic. They had a great paper that describes who stuck around, they were examining the next steps of what it takes to support the positive recovery that we know does happen for some people.   Janet: I like the positive perspective you are taking. Given that one has had a stroke, and given that the this is the situation in life, what is the positive? What can you do? Who are your friends? Look at positive ideas rather than publishing research on all the negative aspects. Kudos to you for doing that.   Liz: Thanks, all of it's important, right? We have to know that. I think we had a special group. I think we had a particularly positive outcome, and it was good to know that friendships don't disappear for everyone. But I think there's something that those people had done and that their friends had done, that we're still trying to learn more about.   Janet: Thank you for that work. Liz. It makes me think about the aphasia journey in that it involves not just the person with aphasia, but also their care partners and all the people around them. In your investigations of friendship, what do the care partners of persons with aphasia tell you about their successes and challenges in sustaining and developing friendships? These friendships could be individual friendships or partner friendships or group friendships through social, religious or professional activities or even community groups.   Liz: Thank you for this question. I think it's sometimes a forgotten group that we overlook, the care partners, and the critical role they play in the recovery of people with aphasia. I always try to have us remember we want the care partners to do well on their own as people, and so we've done a couple projects. We've just finished data collection on a much larger study of 80 aphasia care partners, and I'm just getting into those data. We did a Qualtrics survey and also did experience sampling, where we used a phone app, and four times a day for two weeks, participants got these little pings, and they had to tell us, Where are you? What are you doing? Who are you with? How are you feeling? When was the last time you interacted with a friend? Was it a text? I don't have the amazing outcomes for you yet. This project was a much bigger follow-up to a project a few years ago with 35 care partners. We, of course, wanted to interview them but then COVID was happening, so we settled for a really nice Qualtrics survey.   I will say that these individuals were surprised when we were reaching out to them. They kept trying to schedule their loved one with aphasia, and we said, “No, we want to talk to you about your friendships.” And they were surprised, asking, “You want to talk about me.' I will say they were very excited that we wanted to know about them. Back to the timeline I shared earlier in that very small study, the profile was opposite. We asked them about their friendships before they were caregivers, the early stages of caregiving, and then now, and their comments kind of make sense. Across the group they reported in the early stages, they felt like they had really great friends, support and satisfaction. People were rallying around them, coming to the hospital to support them. Many of them had been caregiving for a very long time when we did a comparison, and their reported friendship satisfaction and support was actually lower now. The questions were not the same and the groups were different, but as I told you a few minutes ago, the people with aphasia were more negative in the acute stage, and our small group were more positive now with how they're feeling about their friendships, and the care partners were the opposite. They were feeling more supported in the beginning, and now as time has gone on, some of them report the friends aren't there as much. Some of them felt like they were a burden, or they didn't know how to engage, being very selfless. They have dropped their own social interests to take care of their loved one. We did see in that project, that the longer, the more months a person had been caregiving, was correlated with poor self-perceived friendships and also how they perceived their loved one's health. That was just their perception. If they perceived their loved one to have more health concerns, not just a feature but overall health, they also tended to rate themselves as not as satisfied with their friendship. Bringing in that piece of information and the caregiving burden into our new projects, we did actually get scales on resilience and caregiving burden depression. In this new project we replicated some of our same questions, and we're now trying to look more at overall well-being, seeing how resilience and purpose in life and caregiving burden might play a role.   Janet: That reminds me of the commercials, when you are taking off in an airplane or when you are thinking about being a care partner, you do have to take care of yourself as the care partner before you can give the best care to the person with aphasia. Anything that we can do to focus on the person the with aphasia, and also focus on the care partner, I think, is good in terms of developing and sustaining friendships,   Liz: Yes. Care partners definitely have a lot more to say, and we haven't actually been able to do face to face interviews yet, but we did have a lot of really rich, open ended responses and surveys that we're still looking through. A piece I'm really interested in, is we have that one-time perception when they did our one-time survey, now we have their responses, we can track how people respond over a two-week period, were they always at home with their loved ones and not responding to friends? I think there's just a lot and again, trying to understand from this group what are the positives. Who are the people that have these positive responses? Then, of course, the next big steps are trying to provide more research resources and interventions for both care partners and people with aphasia. Our group has not yet reached out to friends, so that's a big part to come. I think other researchers have examined friends and a key part intervening with these friends too.   Janet: People with aphasia and care partners have different friendship styles and needs, and when aphasia disrupts communication, it can also affect the way a person approaches friendship. As speech-language pathologists, I believe that we can play a role in guiding a person with aphasia and a care partner to develop communication skills that can support friendship efforts. Liz, what are some ideas or actions that you might think of for speech-language pathologists in a busy clinical practice? What kind of actions can they take to support friendship activities, for a person with aphasia, recognizing, of course, that we are all different in our friendship activities. Also recognizing that you're at the very beginning of some of this work, I'm hoping that you have some ideas you might be able to share with us.   Liz: Yes, actually our very first friendship project addressed this topic. It was led by Michelle Therrien, and we surveyed about 40 speech-language pathologists trying to find out their view of the role that they think they should play. They find friendship to be very important. They find it to be in their scope of practice. But not surprising, were not aware of resources. They felt overwhelmed with how much speech-language pathologists have to cover, right? But it was really good to know that the group we reached out to found it to be a very important part of their practice that they want to address. I think you hit on something really important, that we teach and adopt having a person-centered care model, and we know that it's part of what we ask about. The simplest thing is asking. We don't need tools. We just need to make sure it's part of what we ask, making sure we're talking about relationships, talking about friendships.   There are some really great tools that do exist. There's the Stroke Social Network Scale by Sarah Northcott and Katerina Hillary from the UK. Katie Strong, Brent Archer, Jamie Azios and Natalie Douglas are a wonderful group who have been studying friendship. They've used the Social Convoy Model in some of their papers. It has a great visual that they have used, and therapists can also use. Basically, it is mapping out the social network of who's most important, which could be used one time, or as a pre-post measure. There are different ways, formal or informal, of trying to monitor someone's social network or how they feel supported. I don't think there's a target number of friendships and I don't think more means better, but it could be just making sure we're checking in and that we know that's an important part of therapy. We want them to be able to communicate and interact with friends. Speech-language pathologists are creative in to how to make that happen.   Janet: I agree with that view Liz, and I hope that speech-language pathologists will feel comfortable being creative and asking people about their friendships or what they might need to help maintain or sustain their friendships.   I would like to turn now to the topics of reading and literacy, which I know you have been investigating. While these terms are related, they are not synonymous. Would you please explain the difference between them and how you are investigating both in your research?   Liz: Yes. Thanks. That is a good question. To be honest, the first answer is not very scientific. When I was writing papers it was getting cumbersome to always write reading and spelling/ writing. The term came to be when I wanted to make sure that I was making it clear that I wasn't just focused on reading, but also concerned with the spelling and writing components. With my colleagues, Jessica Obermeier and Aaron Bush, we started using the term literacy for some of our work. People will have different ideas of what literacy might entail. I have been describing treatment as “literacy focused”, working on reading and spelling and writing.   My initial work was very much focused on reading, and over the past several years I became more interested in trying to also add on the spelling component. If we're working on spelling and writing it gives us a chance to inherently work on the reading. If we're only focused on reading, it doesn't bring in the writing. There's a time for them to be separate, I fully agree. There are also times where they can be targeted at the same time.   Janet: That makes perfect sense. When I think about how we discussed in the past, reading for pleasure, or reading to gain knowledge, or reading for information, or reading for safety, so many different aspects of reading, literacy also factors into how you use reading in those situations.   Liz: Yes, and so in a lot of day-to-day communication, you need both, right? It's for text messaging, right? We need to read it and respond in a written way, also emails. There are lots of instances where for the for the interaction to go well, we need to be able to read and respond in writing, such as filling out forms, email, texting, social media. For a lot of interactions we need both for there to be a successful written language exchange.   Janet: Liz, as part of our work with the Academy of Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences, Aphasia Writing Group, you and I were part of the team who critically reviewed treatment approaches for reading comprehension deficits in persons with aphasia. You've also investigated, as you mentioned earlier, specific aspects of reading deficits in persons with aphasia. What are some of the insights that you have gained from this work? And by the way, it was such a pleasure doing that critical review of treatment for reading deficits, and there was a lot of interesting information that came to light in that paper.   Liz: Yes, thank you. I was going to comment that I remember we thought we were going to have all these papers to go through and really and that review, we were very much focused on papers where the main outcome was reading comprehension. When we stuck to what our aim was, there really weren't that many papers that that met the aim of that project. So that really brought to light that it really is an area of our field that doesn't have enough attention.   Some of my recent projects, as I mentioned with Aaron Bush and Jessica Obermeier, we've talked to people with aphasia and gotten their perspective of before and early days. I really like doing this research over time. Things change, but we learned just how important reading and writing are to people with aphasia, and that they really want to work on it. I think we've seen when we looked in the literature, there wasn't much there. When we've talked to people with aphasia and speech-language pathologists, they want to work on reading, and they're not sure how. That further motivates me that this is an area to work on.   In some of my beginning work, I was Diane Kendall's research speech language pathologist for a few years before I did my Ph.D., and I exclusively delivered her phono motor treatment. In that research trial, the main outcome was word retrieval, but the therapy that she designed inherently worked a lot on reading and writing. We retrained every phoneme - how to say it, what your mouth is doing, and also the graphemes that go with the phonemes. As her research speech pathologist, that's really when I got very interested in reading. I'd be in these sessions, and we'd finally bring out the graphemes that go with the phonemes. I recall telling people that this is going to get better – and it did not. That connection between the phonemes and the graphemes, for a lot of people, wasn't there. In that clinical experience as her research speech pathologist is when I realized that the treatment improved reading for some people, but not for everyone. So that's my background of really getting focused on reading.   In the last few years, I've been working on adapting that original version of treatment that was for word retrieval. I've added some components to make it more focused on reading. I've been working with Olga Burkina, who's at the Kessler Stroke Foundation, and has an NIH grant where she is pairing exercise with this reading focused phono motor treatment. It's fun to be a part of that group exploring the idea of doing aerobic exercise to improve the brain blood flow, and to see if that's going to help improve reading treatment. Again, the idea being going forward is what the treatment might change.   There are some other projects also. I'm working with Will Graves at Rutgers. He is using computational modeling to have us stop guessing which treatment. We're trying to get a really good baseline assessment, trying to find out about semantic impairment, phonological impairment, and then we're using this reading focused phono motor treatment. We also have a reading focus semantic feature analysis. I really enjoy getting to work with different researchers who have these wonderful, big questions, and that I'm getting to support it as the speech-language pathologist on these projects focused on reading and writing and phono motor treatment. So those are some exciting projects I'm involved in right now.   Janet: That's exciting, because you started out by saying there were only a few papers that we found that really address reading treatment, and you're right.  It's daunting, then how do you select the reading treatment? How do you help this person with aphasia who wants to improve their reading comprehension? I think it's exciting that you've got all these different avenues and are working with a variety of people to investigate treatment.   Liz: Yeah. And the one thing I'll add to that is part of that, that review we did, for some people those treatments are helping reading comprehension. But for some people, I've been trying to work on the next step. I have a very small dataset where I've added a semantic comprehension stage to my adapted photo motor treatment. I'm in the very early stages of this and I'm sure it's fine to say, but I've been having these really exciting conversations with Kelly Knollman-Porter and Sarah Wallace. They're also Tavistock Trust recipients, and they study reading from a different perspective, using text to speech, compensatory and very focused book reading. They're very comprehension focused, so we're at the very early, fun stages of where we are in our thinking. I think there might be a middle step we are missing, but we are talking about taking these impairment focused treatments, which I think have a role, and have a participation, functional part of it. That's another emerging, new collaboration, where we are coming to reading from different perspectives, and we're trying to see where we can get with that goal, back to this comprehension question, improving functional reading, maybe from impairment and compensatory approaches.   Janet: I think that's the right approach to take, and I think it's exciting, because we have to remember that everybody reads differently. Some people like reading, some people don't enjoy reading. They read what they have to, but they don't particularly enjoy it. So, if we all come to it from different perspectives, we all have different strengths that we bring, and different deficits as well, and different needs or designs, just as is so many things with aphasia. Start with the person with aphasia, asking What do you want to read? What problems are you having? Then use that as a guide to selecting an impairment-based treatment or text to speech treatment, or whatever. I think that's exactly the right approach.   Liz: The one thing the treatment we were talking about, phono motor treatment, in general, is a phonology treatment. The good thing is that my focus is asking, is it improving reading? I'm also extending it to writing. We do know at its core, it's a language treatment, so it is nice that it can be tweaked to serve the person's main interests. I think that's important, that we are trying to work on what people want to work on, but we want to make sure we're improving, if we can, not just one language modality, and we know that these abilities are supported by similar brain structures and underling cognitive processes. That's something else we've been trying to work on, being person centered and at the same time trying to maximize generalization - lots of pieces. I am finding now what's most motivating and exciting is trying to make sure that we're doing things that people with aphasia find important, and how also to keep the whole science moving forward in this way that's going to have functional, important outcomes. That people with aphasia are going to be able to do what they want to do to the best that they can.   Janet: Absolutely! But then there's the scientific challenge of how do you collect the data? How to best observe specific outcome data on performance measures, but also collect the person-centered data. How do you collect data that really can speak to whether you're having a success and whether this might be generalizable or transferable to another person?   Liz: I think it's important that we need both. I always say, and some of my collaborators may not like it, but if in the person reported outcome, a person with aphasia is telling us that they feel better and that they are communicating better in life, and those measures should not be optional, those measures to me, a critically important part of seeing this treatment successful. There are different ways to do that and different ways to capture their perspective. For example, if trained reading words moved this much and if the patient reported outcome change is greater, then I find that to be a success. If the reverse happens, I find treatment not successful. If my probes showed gain but the person with aphasia does not see it or feel it, then I don't find treatment to be a success. So, I think it's really important that persons with aphasia tell us different things, and we need to have many assessments in both of those categories. I think, when possible.   Janet: You're absolutely right. When you think about many of the treatments that we're doing, they are not necessarily easy, and they take time, and you have to stay the course. I think you know, I've been interested for a number of years in motivation and engagement, and what keeps people motivated and doing what they're doing. If you've got a treatment that you can see over time, small changes in your specific reading outcomes, but not so much of a change in the person centered outcomes, or person reported outcomes, how do you know the person is still really engaged and motivated and willing to slog through your treatment in order to get to the place that you hope they will? I think you're correct when you're assessing the importance of the person reported outcome.   Liz: Yeah, that's good. And then that's a whole other like measure in itself, right? The key of motivation we've talked about in some of the trials. The one person who didn't do very well, and just in our conversation, sometimes it for different reasons. That wasn't motivating for that person. There's that's a whole very important piece that a lot of us have a lot of room to improve in how we capture that and support that.   Janet: Which is a challenge when we're trying to devise treatments for, say, reading or anything that can be applicable to a wide range of persons with aphasia. Kudos to you for meeting that challenge as best you can.   Liz: We're working on it. But I do really think that it's changing. Sometimes I feel like there are impairment-based people and life participation people, and I don't think it needs to be that way. It's fine if we only study one area. We can't all study everything, but I think as a whole they complement each other very well. And so I'm just excited to see that it seems like things are moving in a really exciting way, where people who study aphasia in various different ways now seem to have the main outcome, asking is this going to help people with aphasia feel better, communicate better, and look forward to something different in life? I think we're all seeing that that's what we're supposed to be doing, and how we do it is going to look really different, and that's great. I think we're moving in the right direction.   Janet: Very well said. I think, and you obviously do as well, that literacy and reading skills are crucially important to individuals with aphasia in so many ways, such as life skills reading or pleasure reading. Acknowledging that we all have different skill levels and preferences, what are some ideas that you might have identified that speech-language pathologists can use to support the literacy and reading desires and activities for a person with aphasia?   Liz: Great question. I think my answer is very similar to the question about what can SLPs do to help support friendship? I think being person centered. You said earlier, right, we all have different interests. Somebody might say it's not one of my goals and I really don't want to spend a lot of time on this. But just having those conversations and person-centered measures and using supported conversation we can easily gather important information. There are some really good patient-reported outcome measures that ask about reading, so maybe use some of those existing tools. The Comprehensive Aphasia Disability Questionnaire has a nice scale that talks about different aspects of reading as well as other aspects of language. But at the minimum, I think finding a way, even just to draw your own scale and then trying to find out in their life, what are different activities where they want to or need to engage, right? Texting, email, restaurant. I mean, we think about it, we're reading all the time throughout life. So, I think finding the reading need is a general interest and then getting really specific is one way to do it. Another thing could be, as I mentioned before, our brain relies on similar structures and language networks when we are engaging in spoken language and written language. So oftentimes improving our reading and writing improves our spoken abilities and vice versa. So even if it's not the main goal in treatment, for example if the main outcome might be word retrieval, I really believe multimodal learning is important. If, after you've gone through what you want to do say writing it, having them repeat it, maybe copy it, even though that's not the main goal, and it's not slowing the therapy, if it's working for you and your client, then I really think, at the minimum, using written language to support spoken language has a good role. I also think the opposite can be true using spoken language to support written language. So I do think that it's important that we know we are addressing all of language, and that that language skills really do usually move up and down together in aphasia.   Janet: Well said, again. Liz, thank you so very much for joining me today in this fascinating look into friendship, literacy, reading and aphasia. And again, hearty congratulations to you on being named Tavistock, Distinguished Scholar.

In deze aflevering van Verhalen in Veiligheid duiken we in het thema van trauma-sensitief onderwijs. Presentatrice Orly Polak verwelkomt klinisch psycholoog en auteur Leony Coppens om te praten over de impact van trauma op kinderen en hoe dit hun leerervaring beïnvloedt. Leony legt uit hoe negatieve overtuigingen bij kinderen, zoals het idee dat ze niets waard zijn, versterkt kunnen worden door misinterpretatie van hun gedrag door leerkrachten. Door te begrijpen wat trauma-sensitief onderwijs inhoudt, kunnen leraren een positieve invloed uitoefenen op kinderen die ingrijpende ervaringen hebben meegemaakt. Beluister deze aflevering voor een diepgaand begrip van hoe leerkrachten kunnen bijdragen aan een veiligere en ondersteunende leeromgeving voor alle leerlingen. Veel luisterplezier!

Het werk van Marieke Coppens neemt bij elk project een andere verschijningsvorm aan: de ene keer staat ze als goeroe van haar eigen zevenhoek-vererende-sekte in een installatie waarin je tegen betaling “700% healing guarantee” ontvangt, een andere keer laat ze een meterslang tapijt van twee vechtende paarden borduren. Haar nieuwste werk heeft de vorm van een boek gekregen, met de curieuze titel: niet het uiterlijk voor goede vriendschappen net als de tongen van de honden. Wat Mariekes werken gemeen hebben, is dat ze het element verwarring in zich dragen, en vaak een getalsmatige basis hebben. Haar boek heeft bijvoorbeeld de Fibonacci-reeks als blauwdruk: zoals in die reeks het volgende getal steeds de optelsom is van de twee getallen die ervoor staan, zo sjouwen de personages in Mariekes boek opeenvolgend met elkaars afval, en zijn hun levens verstrengeld.

Le monde n'est pas le même pour tous. Pour certains le jour se lève, pour d'autres la nuit tombe, pour d'autres encore c'est la nuit qui se lève. Une usine ferme, puis elle est démontée pour être emportée ailleurs. Une usine disparait, les lumières de la ville s'éteignent et la nuit se lève, n'arrête pas de se lever. Dans cette nuit-là : un père, une mère, un fils marchent vers une nouvelle lumière qu'ils devinent parfois dans le lointain… Un chœur chante leur histoire ; des hommes et des femmes migrateurs leur montrent le chemin ; le souvenir d'un numéro de cirque les accompagne ; partout des insectes. Dans cette nuit sans fin le monde change, les hommes aussi : un père, une mère, un fils au seuil de leur dernière métamorphose.

Maaike Coppens is the author of the new book Design Conversationnel published in French by Eyrolles with a forthcoming English edition. Maaike and I first met at an event in 2018 in Paris, and that provided a springboard to discuss how the priorities and expectations around conversation design have changed. One important topic we discuss is the rising focus on task completion for voice assistant applications as opposed to likeability and building affective trust. Much of this is driven by changing consumer behaviors and preferences.  Coppens is the vice president of design at OpenDialog AI, the developer of the open source conversation management framework. Previously, she was a senior user experience and conversation design consultant for Accor Hotels, Applause, and XAPPmedia. She also worked as a conversation designer at voice-first game maker labworks.io and is an Alexa Champion.

Unser heutiger Gast hat einen Bachelor of Science in Maschinenbau und einen Master of Science in Management of Technology von der Technischen Universität Delft gemacht.. Einige Jahre später fügte er einen Master of Science in klinischer Psychologie an der Universität Tilburg hinzu. Zwischenzeitlich arbeitete er in Shanghai im Projektmanagement im Bereich der Bioenergie und gründete ein Produktionsunternehmen in Malaysia. Seine Erfahrungen als Unternehmer führten ihn zu seinem Interesse an der Psychologie. Heute ist er der festen Überzeugung, dass jeder Mensche die Möglichkeit haben sollte, seine Gefühle und Erfahrungen mit jemandem zu teilen, die:der sich darum kümmert. Diese Überzeugung brachte ihn dazu, OpenUp zu gründen, eine Online-Plattform für psychologische Hilfe. Genau wie wir, glaubt er: "It's time to OpenUp." Seit mehr als 5 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt - statt ihn zu schwächen. Wie kann ein Thema, das in unserem Alltag eine so wichtige Rolle spielt, wieder mehr Sinn in unserem Leben schaffen? Wie können wir Menschen ermutigen, wieder Kraft und Motivation aus ihrer täglichen Arbeit zu schöpfen? Warum wird es im Berufsleben immer wichtiger, sich auch um die eigene psychische Gesundheit zu kümmern? Und wie können wir dies nutzen, um Arbeit wieder zu etwas zu machen, das Menschen stärkt und nicht schwächt? Wir sind auf der Suche nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Werkzeugen und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Wir versuchen immer wieder, die Frage zu beantworten, ob jeder Mensch wirklich das finden und leben kann, was er im Innersten wirklich will.

Welcome to this edition of Aphasia Access Conversations, a series of conversations about topics in aphasia that focus on the LPAA model. My name is Janet Patterson, and I am a Research Speech Language Pathologist at the VA Northern California Health Care System in Martinez, California. These Show Notes follow the conversation between Dr. Papathanasiou and myself, but are not an exact transcript.   Dr. Ilias Papathanasiou is a Professor of Speech and Language Therapy at the Department of Speech and Language Therapy, University of Patras, and a Research Associate at the Voice and Swallowing Clinic, the First ENT Clinic of the Medical School of the National Kapodistrian University of Athens Greece. He is a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and has received numerous awards and recognition for his tireless efforts on behalf of aphasia awareness and rehabilitation research in the international community.  In today's episode you will hear about: considering LPAA values across social, cultural and international norms, increasing aphasia awareness through actions in the local community, mentoring speech-language pathologists who are learning about aphasia and LPAA in countries initiating aphasia rehabilitation services. Dr. Janet Patterson: As Ilias and I start this podcast, I want to give you a quick reminder that this year we are sharing episodes that highlight at least one of the gap areas in aphasia care identified in the Aphasia Access, State of Aphasia report, authored by Dr. Nina Simmons-Mackie. For more information on this report, check out Podversations episode # 62 with Dr. Liz Hoover, as she describes these 10 gap areas or go to the Aphasia Access website. This episode with Dr. Papathanasiou focuses on gap area number seven, insufficient or absent communication access for people with aphasia or other communication disorders, and gap area 10, failure to address family and caregiver needs including information, support, counseling, and communication training. I hope our conversation today sheds additional light on these gap areas.    With that introduction, I would like to extend a warm welcome to my friend and noted aphasiologist, Dr. Ilias Papathanasiou. Welcome Ilias and thank you for joining me today on Aphasia Access Podversations.   Dr. Ilias Papathanasiou: Thank you very much for this kind invitation. I'm thrilled to be with you and speak about aphasia from a rather international perspective. As you know, I have been trained in UK, I work in Greece, and have been active in many places around the world and working with developing countries, for people with aphasia.   Janet: Ilias, I'm just thrilled to have you here, and as a side note to our listeners, Ilias and I have already been talking for about an hour sharing wonderful stories about aphasia and international aphasia. Sadly, most of that won't be caught on this particular tape, but I hope a good bit of it will, because Ilias, you are a fount of information, not only about aphasia, but also about aphasia and the international community. Let me start by saying that our listeners, Ilias, are likely very familiar with the LPAA model, which as we all know, places the person with aphasia at the center of decision-making, to support them in achieving their real-life goals and reduce the adverse consequence of aphasia. How do you think social and cultural norms play a role in understanding the LPAA model?   Ilias: This is a very interesting question, which we'll have to answer. But first of all, I think we have to start with what is aphasia and how the implications of aphasia start in the community. I will say, aphasia is a language impairment, first of all, which is related from the focal lesion, which has, of course, great effects on the person with aphasia, on the quality of life, on the social network and the person, on the making friendships, on how the person functions, and the everyday environment. Now, how the person functions in the everyday environment, is related to many, many social norms. I have been working for 15 years in UK and then back to Greece. And I think that's changed my perspective. What is the social role? What the social model can offer in aphasia, because we have two different societies so they believe there are too many different societies around the world which can see aphasia as a different perspective. Taking the example from Greece, I think Greece has got a much-closed family network and supportive network comparing with other developing countries. I mean, the traditional Greece accepted that people will live with or very near their children, will have family nearby, they have their friends nearby, and they will try to - the family - to take the leadership support of the person with aphasia. This is something which might be a bit different with the USA. So in this way, the decision relies on the person and their LPAA approach of getting together and having a chat, which is not what it is for me. It is totally different, it is different in that there you have to help the participation for these people. From this perspective, I will say that life participation approach, if you take a very more wide perspective, is how we take behavior. How we take behaviors doing therapy, not only to the linguistic background because we have to start from there, you know, it's a language impairment, but also to changing behaviors of the people surrounding, to the society, and even to the government policy some time. And there's not only you know, intervening to the benefit to the person and facilitated the person which of course is correct, it's not only that. I will bring the examples. How many hospitals around the world are aphasia friendly? How many documents used by the government are aphasia friendly? And they think this access to solve this information is restricted to the people with aphasia. That is not only in USA, but I think is around the world and even you know, in different parts of the world. Some other movements of people with special skills, for example, people with visual impairment, or hearing impairment, they have been around much longer than the people with aphasia, and perhaps their network, their lobby has achieved much more changes on their policy or in the government. But for people with aphasia, this has not been the case as yet. I think this is something which can work because life participation has to be multi-directional. It is not only to change. The direction of a life participation approach, as I have to say, is a market direction, is multimodal. It has to start even from changing the attitude of the person with aphasia, changing the attitudes of the people surrounding aphasia. Telling you that you are of the society in which they move. Perhaps look at the activities which there are. But most important, changing also the government issues, the policy issues, so to make the environment to enable the person with aphasia to participate. It is very different that in Greece, perhaps, we do not have this approach as you expect in USA. Because as I said in the beginning, there is very close family network, which take that role quite importantly, and there are cases that the family will take out the person, because their close family relations, the person will continue to participate in everyday activities with the family, and perhaps helping them to be as active in the social roles as they were before.   Janet: That makes a lot of sense. You really need to think about the LPAA model with respect to the culture where a person with aphasia lives and where their families are. Let me ask you also, Ilias, in Greece, where you live and practice, how do persons with aphasia participate in speech-language treatment, and you've talked about there isn't really a practice model like LPAA, but it's more of folding the person with aphasia into the family. How do people with aphasia participate in speech-language pathology, and then move into the family?   Ilias: Speech-language pathology in Greece is very new. So, some of the public hospitals do not have a speech pathologist, yet. The first graduates from the Greek programs is about 20 years ago. It's really new and most of them have been focused on pediatrics. The rehabilitation of adults and especially with aphasia is very new in Greece. Also now we have started having some rehabilitation centers. People with aphasia are facing rehabilitation on the acute states in the hospitals, people will stay there for three or four days, having the medical checkup, and then move to a rehab unit. In the rehab unit, which will stay for two or three months, they will have more impairment-based one to one therapy on a daily basis. And then, but surrounding them at the rehabilitation center, is always the family member, which will be visit them daily, taking them to activities and whatever. And then in most of the cases the person will move back to the family. They might continue rehabilitation with an outpatient, private speech therapist, which the family supports at home. This setup will help them integrate within the family network. And usually, you know, people are still looking after, say, if they are married and live as a couple, the woman or the man will look after them, take them out to activities that simply would come around, and help, and take them to the different activities and everyday events, helping them to go out and socialize within the family network. We are still in the network that people are visiting each other, you know, the social events and the family events very often, which is quite important. The person still carries on the routine, and there is the physical disability that might restrict the person to go out, but the family will find a way to communicate and have some activities of what they want to do. And usually, I will say, that the integration after is more related to the family. Now, that can happen, I will say about 70%, 75% to 80% of the cases. Still there will be cases with no family and no support or whatever. In that case, there will be some nursing homes. They're very limited, the nursing homes. Someone would go to a nursing home if they are totally dependent on physical abilities, like they cannot walk, not take food and tube fed or whatever. The rest will be with supports in the family.    On the other hand, what has happened in the last years is that people pay privately, a carer to be with the person with aphasia, or an elderly person. Most likely the carer be an immigrant from another country and perhaps they do not speak the language. From that perspective, the family will go in and help this person. And that's how it helps. You have to look at what is a norm for an elderly person with aphasia. Not another person with aphasia, but what is known for an elderly patient in Greece. Say if someone retired, then what she likes to do usually in Greece, is to be close to the family and see the grandchildren, to be close to do some activities. Some of them they might have a summer house with they go and spend some time with the grandchildren there. So again, for a person without aphasia the activities will be surrounded the family. This continues to exit. So, if someone with aphasia has the grandchildren coming to his house and play, and he wants them, that will be a quality of life for him, to see them and play and communicate. This is very nice because this will give him a motive to do things for himself. But also, the kids will be aware of what is aphasia, and what happened, and that will increase in some ways awareness.   Janet: It sounds like there is a lot of responsibility the family members assume for integrating the person with aphasia into the daily activities and their daily roles, and the fun and the work of family life.   Ilias: This is happening in all aspects. The elderly people stay with the family, stay connected. You know, I will not think that Greek person will leave the parents away from them. It's like you know, they will help and will support them. They might not live together but there will be close family support   Janet: Ilias, you work in a university clinic. At that clinic how do you implement the ideas of client- centered practice or LPAA in your work and your work with students,   Ilias: I don't work directly with aphasia at the university clinic, I work on the voice and swallowing clinic. I teach about aphasia with my students. What I say to them is give them is examples from every day. Usually in my classes there is discussion of the psycholinguistic, cognitive neuro model. And also, there are different lectures of putting them into their functional or community participation approach with aphasia. There are no projects in Greece, like clubs with people with aphasia and community settings where they can go. And from one perspective, I'm not sure if we need that. First is from the family, from the personal view. You don't take the people who have aphasia and put them in another place with people with aphasia, to interact only among them. The point is to integrate them in the community activities and not to you know, go from the house to another room because they will meet another 10 people, unless there are community activities for them to do.  The community activities surrounding it are doing the things which you can do before. What I tried to do with my students is first to teach them to find out what an elderly person needs; how the elderly person communicates. It is very common in Greece to have the coffee shops where people go and have a coffee and play cards. I said to them, go and play cards with your grandfather to see how he communicates, to see what he feels, to see what he needs. If you learn to play cards with your grandfather and your grandparents, you will learn to communicate with a person with an aphasia, because really you have to approach the level and the needs of that person. That is my philosophy with my students - go interact with the people on different events and not be so centered to yourself, and what you think. Go and find out what they want. So we tried to create activities within the class, which we will look on these different perspectives. There is no settings like nursing homes, which they have got people with aphasia in Greece, because people are living in their own homes, about 80% - 90%. The family is there. What we mean by the life participation approach is going back to the family life, going back to the community, because that is the most important to the person's needs and he wants to be close with a family.   Janet: As you're doing that, and teaching your students and role modeling, I imagine you might find some obstacles to actually implementing client-centered care. What obstacles do speech pathologists in Greece face? How do you and your colleagues work to mitigate those obstacles and implement the care principles similar to those of LPAA, when you're working with the patients with aphasia,   Janet: First, you know, there are some physical obstacles. For example, if you live in a big city like Athens, in a block of flats, not all of them are accessible. For people to get out of the house is not always very easy. That is an issue, in general and is not like the United States, where you have homes on one level; people can park outside their houses and get in and out. Here it is totally different. It is like having access in place in New York City with steps to go up in one of these big townhouses. It is not easy for a person with aphasia. Think about it, if you live in a townhouse in New York with ten steps to climb and go in, a person with aphasia cannot do that easily; with a stroke, not with aphasia. This is a similar situation in most places in Greece. Even the new buildings have to have access for people with disabilities, but still, we have flats from the 1960s and 1970s, who do not have access. There are physical obstacles for people to come out and get involved.    Then the other big thing which you have to change is the awareness of aphasia. For people to understand that this person does not have intelligence problem, and this is just a communication problem. And that the people, you know, have the executive function, to function and to communicate. People who do not have that in mind, you have to change this way of thinking. A few years back in Greece, people were saying, ”Oh, he had a stroke, now he lost his mind.” I believe this is nothing new, what's happened in Greece, this happened in other parts of the world, the thinking that aphasia affected the intelligence of the person. We tried to change that, to say that aphasia is something which you have. You lost the ability to use your language and to communicate, but still you are the same person, nothing has changed. You still have got your thoughts, your feelings, your loved ones, this has not changed. And as I told you, there is also some natural recovery in different ways. The example, which I gave you before, when we had the chat, when I saw my person from the village where I was born in Greece, when I was living in UK, there was no service for aphasia in Greece. He never had therapy and he was someone with Broca's Aphasia and severe apraxia. His wife was taking him every day to the coffee shop, which he used to do, to see the same people and watching the people play cards, and he has found the natural way of communicating. That I think, is very important because he kept the activities. He kept the roles and that is the social model of the life of the patient. It does not mean life participation is to go to a club to meet other people with aphasia. Life participation means to return back to what you want, and what is your everyday activities, your family, and what it is important to you to do. That's what I tried to do with my students, tried to put them into this modality of thinking that you have to take into account what the person of aphasia is, and what the environment they live. It says a person should return to these roles are soon as they can.   Janet: Those are wise words very, very wise words Ilias, I think, especially the idea about going into the coffee shop. That makes perfect sense is a way of beginning to communicate and establish a pattern between the two of you for communication.   Ilias: Yeah, but this person did develop a pattern of communication with no intervention. You will say then, what would a speech-language pathologist do in this situation. And I will say, the speech-language pathologist will go there from the beginning, might work on the linguistic impairment at the same time, show his wife and facilitate all these changes in the life they knew, and perhaps, if she found a way, two months or three months down the line, to take him to the coffee shop. She should start doing that earlier, taking him out to everyday activities which he used to do before. Sometimes, you know, we have to think we are overreacting. Perhaps we have things in our mind, the therapist, which we say, “oh, you should do that, you should do that, you should do that.” The person really is not aware of what we're suggesting, you know, what I mean? We're very motivated for people to do more things and more things and get involved. But actually, the person, that is not what you want. Some simple things in life can make these changes.   Janet: Exactly.    Ilias: Give them this space to make the choices of what is meaningful to them. The thing, you have to take that into account, and that's what I say from the beginning. The behavior changes, not only the linguistic skills and on the family, but also to us. How we're able to understand as clinicians where to stop participating in the social interaction with them. Some people are lazy, some have got a different network. It's not all you know, what we want to push them to do?   Janet: You're exactly right, because you may have wonderful ideas as a speech-language pathologist, but they don't match with what the person with aphasia would like to do. You must respect their ideas and their wishes.   Ilias: It is not only respect them, because we do, I want to believe that we respect the wishes. We have to teach ourselves to take that into account when we give these wonderful ideas. It is a skill not to push the people, you know, not to push people too far. You have to give them the space, and I think that is quite important, too.   Janet: Let me take this conversation in a slightly different direction. What you've been talking about a lot is really awareness and support and understanding the culture of where a person and how a person with aphasia lives, and how their family lives. But let me take you in a slightly different direction by asking about the papers that you have published on several topics helping people understand aphasia. I'm thinking mostly about your papers on public awareness of aphasia and assessing quality of life for persons with aphasia. Will you tell us a little bit about this line of research that you've been doing, and how you see it informing clinical practice for speech-language pathologists who believe in the LPAA model and patient-centered care   Ilias: Now, you are speaking with someone who has got a very wide background in research. I have to say that my first research and my Ph.D. was about neuroplasticity and connectivity. I did that back in London at the Institute of Neurology, with TMS and connectivity in the middle 1990s, before all this idea about plasticity and connectivity came out.  It was very lovely to work with them. At that point, this was not very popular. I don't know why, but now it is. Perhaps people are not aware about all this work I have done with connectivity in neuroplasticity, back in the 1990s, even though it is published. But it's written in different way.    But coming back to Greece, I have to say, you have to start from a different perspective. Why is that? Because I come from a country who has totally different needs, comparing with UK who have more organized research. I will take that as a guidance or an advice to people who are going back to their countries of developing. There are countries who do not have, you know, the research programs you have in USA, and that are still developing countries. When I came back to Greece, I had to start from somewhere. The things which I needed were tests to evaluate aphasia, I need to see what the public knows about aphasia, and even what are some networks about aphasia, I need to start from epidemiological data. Because unless you work on an epidemiological data, you will not be able to go to the government and say the policies, how many people with aphasia exist and what changed. At the same time, Katerina Hilari in UK was doing the work on quality of life. We did a project with her here in Greece on the validation of the quality-of-life approach, which Katerina has developed, and has been used in Greece as well. With Katerina, we developed the first efficacy study in the Greek language, because we have to prove that the linguistic difference makes a difference. We took the semantic feature analysis in a different perspective, which is more approachable to the Greek. It will do the semantic analysis work, which has been published.    So really, coming back from here, you have to start from the basic and it is important for the local community in the country because you got to start. That's why I have the work which changed my direction some ways. We might speak about different approaches to aphasia in developing countries, when you go to the small countries, this is totally different. At the same time, because people have been starting my position in other countries, I have been invited to help them out in a different perspective. I have been working with Slovenia, for example, helping them to develop the test, and they are doing education about aphasia. Now I have contact with people from Middle East and they want the similar. Through my work with the International Association of Language and Communication Sciences and Disorders, IALP, as part of the Education Committee, we have a mentorship program for clinicians working with aphasia, something which perhaps you don't know. IALP and Tavistock trust, have put together a program and aphasia committee and we are mentors of clinicians in the developing countries. Right now, the IALP program has about twenty clinicians being mentored around the world. I have someone in Vietnam, which is very interesting. And the same time, from my role as the Education Committee, I have been involved in many of these places, which they asked you know, how to develop materials, how to do all this work to change the life of communication disorders. I think aphasia is part of that, because I have all that experience. I think you have to start off at that point with the research, you know, develop the tests, the materials to assess, and then go to the different aspects which we need of recovery. Taking in the national perspective, regarding tests, I will say, you do not have to translate the test, you don't translate the test, you adopt the test. And sometimes it's not possible to do that. Even some of the notes of the quality of life which you have, or the social approach, which you have in the case of the life participation approach with what we have talked before, might not be appropriate in a different country. But you have to think the principles behind that.   Janet: You talk about awareness, and it makes me think that it really is foundational to so much of what we think about with LPAA. You're talking about awareness of aphasia in government areas, in policy areas, in writing documents, in how families engage with people with aphasia, how the shopkeepers around the area engage with people with aphasia. Awareness is important and those of us who are enmeshed in aphasia, we just may take it for granted that everybody knows what aphasia is, or everybody knows how to talk with the person with aphasia, and that's just not so. You're telling me, and I believe you're right, that building awareness is so important to the foundation of building a successful aphasia culture, whether it's the rehabilitation culture, or the family culture, or the government culture,   Ilias: I want to say aphasia-friendly society, instead of culture.   Janet: That's a great way to think about it – aphasia-friendly society, larger than just the speech language-pathology community.   Ilias: Larger than that. With the Bruce Willis and all the issues these days about aphasia, it's a great opportunity to go out and speak what is aphasia. People now might know the word aphasia, but what actually is the effect on life and how we'll live with that. I don't think that people are aware of that, unless it is something they have experienced from their own household. I think we have to get involved, taking the opportunities not only to go to the TV channels or going to the media and speaking about it, using this opportunity to get involved to the changes in the society. I think that is what will be the opportunity. The media help up to one level, but speaking to the media, they will know what is aphasia but that will not change that of the society 100%. People have to be in phase with a person with aphasia, and they have to say, to interact, with a person with aphasia to understand what it is. In the smaller communities, that might be easier, because each knows each other, and that will be much easier. That is why Greece, who is a smaller community, this small village, in a small town is more acceptable, comparing where the neighborhood network and the neighborhood community is still very close, comparing with big cities, which we don't know who lives next to you. That helps people understand what's going on and helping the person with aphasia. We have to start from the local people instead of going to the media. They're here, and you go out and take the people with aphasia to breakfast. I say, going to the coffee shop, that will be another 15 people there, these people will know what happend and speak with them. These 15 people will go to a different level. This is how you spread the word of aphasia. It is not always that the media will do the best thing. That's what I think.   Janet: I think you're right; it takes many perspectives. And people working from many points of view to really build this foundation and the media, especially with the attention it's given in the last couple of weeks about Bruce Willis. The media certainly plays a point, but you're right, not the most important point or not the only point. We are the advocates, and we are the ones who need to lay the foundation for awareness,   Ilias: I think we have to go a step further. Like, yes, the media brought this case up, go to the governor, go to the policies, insist that there is a need there. It is the media in different ways. Go and speak with the politicians, the lobby. I don't think this has happened.    Janet: It happens in some places, but we can certainly do more. Which leads me actually to my next question. So in addition to being a leader in aphasia, in your country of Greece, Ilias, you also have a large international presence in the aphasia community. You've alluded to that, and that presence in the discussion today. But I want to take you a little bit further into that by asking, how do you see the LPAA model influencing aphasia services throughout the international community? I know you've already talked about it with respect to your Greek community, but what are you thinking about, or what are you speculating about with the larger international community?   Ilias: I think that we will be involved in the very international community, but we have to take into account their special social network, which every community has got, which is totally different. Perhaps the life participation approach will be different from one community to another globally, from one country to another. Each community has got different norms, so it has to be adopted to the different norms of the community. How that will happen, I think, is local people will take the history of it and try to disseminate, and they will adopt it locally. It has to be adopted locally, and how it will be applied with different societal structures, that also will be very interesting to see. As I say, working with these developing countries, I will be very interested to see how that will evolve, and how they will respect. Some of the countries think that aphasia therapy is only linguistic because they have different norms, or I don't know if there are some countries which think about intelligence. There must be. So it's a lot of education which has to happen in all these countries to do all this information.    Janet: That's a good perspective and again, brings us back to the work we need to do in terms of aphasia awareness, talking with our colleagues internationally, and connecting with people with aphasia and their families.   Ilias: It's very important because I think the world that will change as well, because the world is getting smaller. I think communication between different countries at different perspectives, now, it's much easier. Look at the different ways which this podcast works. This can have access to different people around the world, they can speak, have communication, have Zoom meeting. It's much easier to communicate and have access to different information. I think that will help to change. But on the other hand, you don't know how ready a culture is to accept this approach, because some technology is going too fast for some countries and cannot be persuaded to go faster in some modalities. I think it's much easier than it used to be 20 years ago to have access to all this information directly. I think this is a positive sign for more countries to approach to life participation approach.   Janet: Certainly, we've had some podcasts on this topic, and people are thinking about how do you connect, to do a group therapy for people with aphasia, using technology or Zoom or some other platform? Certainly, that is exciting and if it helps persons with aphasia, that's a great thing.   Ilias: Can we have a podcast with people with aphasia speaking from different countries?   Janet: I think that would be a terrific idea. We've had one podcast with some people with aphasia speaking, but they have been in the same location. We have had not podcasts, but I've been part of activities where people in different parts of the United States have been talking together on Zoom. I think that's an excellent idea, people with aphasia from different parts of the world gathering together to talk about their aphasia, I'm going to propose that topic to our team,   Ilias: I'm happy to facilitate that.   Janet: Excellent, I'll sign you up Ilias. As we bring this interview to a close, Ilias, I wonder if you have some pearls of wisdom or lessons learned about LPAA and aphasia services in Greece and around the world that you will share with our listeners.   Ilias: I will say first of all, listen to the person. Just note what the person wants. That is the most important thing. A person with aphasia, as Audrey Holland said, is able to communicate even if he has got the linguistic impairment. So as clinicians, as family, try to find the strong points of this person, and make the most of it, to make him an active member of the society. According to what he wants, she wants, do not impose things on the person, give them the opportunity. I think that is applied everywhere. With the different societal rules, people need different things. Just listen to this person, what he wants, and just use the stroke skills which they have, and facilitate to be an active member of the society. Don't ignore the linguistic impairment, change the behavior allowed at all different levels that we have discussed so far. That's what I want to give out of this perspective.   Janet: I think those very important pearls of wisdom, especially the idea of listening to the patient. It's not huge, it doesn't take a lot of effort, but it's so very, very important because it can form the foundation of the relationship that we have and the success that the person with aphasia can feel. Thank you for those, I will take them to heart and take them into our minds as well. I do appreciate Ilias, your insights and your dedication to serving people with communication disorders. Thank you very much for talking to me today.    This is Janet Patterson, and I am speaking from the VA in Northern California.

In this episode, I am joined by Jason Coppens of Coppens Business Strategies. Jason is a return guest and first, come on the show for episode #17 back in 2019. Jason's episode is one that has been highly listened to and someone I've learned a ton from. So I wanted to bring Jason back and talk through a couple of areas we didn't get to last time. We still don't get through everything I had planned, but this one is again full of actionable data. Updates and changes he's seen since we chatted in 2019, what hasn't changed. Pricing Strategy - when/how to raise prices and a format to evaluate it all. Scheduling and room flow with patients for efficiencies. The opportunity in Urgent Care. How to recruit and attract talent with an example of an ad - seriously this is worth the listen and might save you thousands! There are nuggets of wisdom shared throughout - grab a notepad and don't listen on 2x speed. https://www.cb-strategies.com/ (Coppens Business Strategies ) Our Sponsors https://www.veterinariansuccesspodcast.com/guardianvets (GuardianVets) (be sure if you reach out to mention us for 50% off your first month) https://www.veterinariansuccesspodcast.com/vetcheck-pet (VetCheck Pet Urgent Care Center Franchise)
