This week in Louisiana history. January 18, 1803. President Thomas Jefferson requests $2,500 to finance Lewis and Clark's west exploration. A week earlier, congress had approved $9,375,000 to purchase land near the French-held New Orleans - a move that led to the Louisiana Purchase. This week in New Orleans history. The New Orleans Public Library first opened its doors to the public on January 18, 1897.  The system began in 1896 as the Fisk Free and Public Library in a building on Lafayette Square. Abijah Fisk was a merchant who, over fifty years earlier, had left his house—at the corner of Iberville and Bourbon Streets—to the city for use as a library. Subsequent donations had resulted in libraries and collections not completely free and open to the citizenry. An 1896 city ordinance proposed by Mayor John Fitzpatrick combined the Fisk collection with a newer municipal library. It eventually became known as the New Orleans Public Library. This week in Louisiana.  The Krewe of Majestic Parade 11:00 am, January 25, 2025 Peter Atkins Park Parade Route Here Covington, LA      On January 25, 2025, the Krewe of Majestic will roll for the first time in Covington. The group was founded in 2021 as a social club that enjoyed tailgating at parades. From there it grew to become a year-round club, fundraising for school groups and other community organizations. It wasn't long before a member of the Covington City Council suggested they start a parade. The rest is Carnival history.      The theme of their first parade is “Majestic Gras.” Their signature throw will be sunglasses that look like the face of a lion, in keeping with the krewe's logo. Their specialty throw will change each year to coincide with their theme. Year founded: 2021 Membership: Co-ed Number of floats: 10 floats Postcards from Louisiana.

We're wrapping up the year on Alumless with a special holiday episode inspired by A Christmas Carol! This festive edition explores the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future—alumni engagement style. Joining us are six special guests to help us reflect on our field, where we've come from, and where we're headed in 2025 and beyond. On this episode, we're reflecting on:

October 2024 Meeting of the Chicago Civil War Round Table: Larry Hewitt on "Port Hudson and the Birth of Combat Photography"  For more info: WWW.ChicagoCWRT.ORG  Larry Hewitt will present the who, what, where, when, why, and how the firm of McPherson & Oliver made photographic history. Between June 14 and July 9, 1863, the final 25 days of the 48- day siege of Port Hudson, McPherson & Oliver moved about the battlefield memorializing soldiers in action--and in combat! In the process of making this visual record of opposing armies actively engaged, an image of Union soldiers sharpshooting opposite the Priest Cap was not these two artists only claim to photographic fame. Other images include one taken at midnight (the first ever taken in the dark), one converted into a composite print (created by combining portions of two negatives), the Confederate army at the surrender ceremony, and examples of time-lapse photography. McPherson & Oliver also produced the most widely circulated cartes-de-visite of the Civil War, three different views of "Whipped Peter." But the duo seldom receives credit for these images of an abused slave. Other studios, including Matthew Brady's, published them as their own work. As with the battlefield they immortalized, McPherson and Oliver deserve better. 2  A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Lawrence Lee Hewitt received his B.A. (1974) from the University of Kentucky and his M.A. (1977) and Ph.D. (1984) from Louisiana State University. He was the manager of the Port Hudson (1978- 1982) and Camp Moore (1982-1986) Historic Sites in Louisiana and taught at Southeastern Louisiana University (1985-1996). He was a tenured full professor when he resigned to marry a native of Chicago, where he currently resides. The 1991 recipient of SLU's President's Award for Excellence in Research, the 1991 Charles L. Dufour Award, the 2011 Dr. Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr. Award, and the 2013 Nevins-Freeman Award, he is a past president of the Baton Rouge Civil War Round Table. Hewitt's publications include Port Hudson, Confederate Bastion on the Mississippi (1987). Andrew J. Wagenhoffer's blog Civil War Books and Authors named Hewitt's Port Hudson: The Most Significant Battlefield Photographs of the Civil War 2021 Book of the Year.

Medley Zeigler Bokun and her husband, Kevin, were just three weeks into their marriage when tragedy struck, and they were both involved in a home gas explosion. The two newlyweds found themselves spending what typically is considered the "honeymoon phase" in the ICU. In today's podcast episode, Medley joins Rachel and Amber to talk about her burn injury, the struggles she faced after going home from the hospital, and how she and Kevin navigated their journeys with their unwavering family and friends by their side. ❤️ We also chat about motherhood and fears Medley had before having her son Levi, the common struggle of overheating, and the fantastic drink Body Armor. Tune in today to see how Medley truly embodies the word resilient! ⭐️ Enjoyed the show?

In June of 2019 she married her wonderful husband, who at the time was a third year medical student. Just three short weeks after their wedding, they were in a gas explosion in their home. It was nearly fatal for both of them, but Medley especially sustained second, but mostly third degree burns across 96% of her body. Her chance of survival was not high, but God had other plans. Now Medley and her husband, Kevin, feel that God has called them from a place of medical ministry to a ministry that's focused on spiritual and emotional healing.

Jeffrey Bell joined us to speak about his recently published book, An Inquiry into Analytic-Continental Metaphysics. Jeffrey A. Bell is Professor of Philosophy at Southeastern Louisiana University. He has recently been a Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professor in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, during which time much of this book was written. He is the author of numerous books and articles on Deleuze and Deleuze and Guattari, including Deleuze and Guattari's What is Philosophy?: A Critical Introduction and Guide (Edinburgh University Press, 2016), Deleuze's Hume (Edinburgh University Press, 2008), Philosophy at the Edge of Chaos (University of Toronto Press, 2006) and The Problem of Difference: Phenomenology and Poststructuralism (University of Toronto Press, 1998). Bell is co-editor with Paul Livingston and Andrew Cutrofello of Beyond the Analytic–Continental Divide: Pluralist Philosophy in the Twenty-First Century (Routledge, 2015) and with Claire Colebrook of Deleuze and History (Edinburgh University Press, 2009). By developing a metaphysics of problems, Jeffrey Bell shows how the history of both the analytic and continental traditions of philosophy can be seen to be an ongoing response to the problem of regresses. By highlighting this shared history, Bell brings these two traditions back together to address problems that have been essential to their projects all along and central to much of the history of philosophy.

Dr. Dan Sutter, of the Manuel Johnson Center for Political Economy, hosts EconVersations, a program that explores the role of free markets in promoting prosperity through conversations with Manuel Johnson Center faculty and guests. In this episode, Dr. Sutter interviews Dr. Scott Burns  of Southeastern Louisiana University, as they discuss The Economics of a Central Bank Digital Currency.

About an hour north of Jackson, Miss. the Justice Department is investigating a small town's police force. The allegations? Unlawful stops, retaliation, racist roadblocks and excessive force. As the Gulf States Newsroom's Kat Stromquist reports, residents still worry they won't see change.Property taxes are the basic means by which our government has money to operate, but many residents often don't completely understand how they work. Thankfully, the Bureau of Governmental Research is on a mission to better inform Orleans Parish voters on how these  taxes impact them.  BGR's President and CEO Rebecca Mowbray tells us what residents can learn from the organization's recently-released property tax dashboard.  The end of Mardi Gras means the beginning of Lent, and even if you don't observe the holiday, the days following Fat Tuesday are often marked by at least a few days without drinking — or maybe, just indulging a little less. But there was a time when alcohol was illegal throughout the country — although the ban on booze was largely ignored in south Louisiana.  Back in December, WRKF's Adam Vos spoke about prohibition history with Sam Hyde, professor of history and director of the Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies at Southeastern Louisiana University. Today, we give that conversation a second listen. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

Over 100 years ago this month, Congress approved the act that would soon make prohibition the law of the land. While some Louisianans supported the so-called “noble experiment,” most were unhappy with the idea. Not only has the state long been home to carnival celebrations where alcohol plays a prominent role, but the location of New Orleans and Baton Rouge on the Mississippi River made them important port cities for alcohol shipping and distribution.Sam Hyde, professor of history and director of the Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies at Southeastern Louisiana University, joins us for more on the history of prohibition, bootlegging and speakeasies in Louisiana. When you think of cajun music, you might think of an accordion, a fiddle or even a washboard. But some musicians have discovered a relationship between cajun and classical genres, and are incorporating that into their work. Mary Grace Ellerbee is a pianist from Zachary, La. and the inaugural recipient of the Everett G. Powers Fund for Creativity award from the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge. She joins us to discuss the cajun and classical crossovers in her latest work, “Quatre Chansons Cadiennes.” Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

Two other branches, Algiers and Napoleon, also built with Carnegie funds, opened shortly afterward and continue to serve the public today. The Royal Branch was a one-story and basement structure of the Doric style of architecture. It was fire-proof, the exterior and interior walls being of pressed brick and the floors of concrete. It occupied a lot 65 by 98 feet, and sat upon a low terrace. The interior space was divided into reading, attendants', janitor's, storage and toilet rooms. The reading-room was 40 by 50 feet with a ceiling height of sixteen feet which had no interior columns or other obstructions — giving the impression of an even larger room. This week in Louisiana.

It was recorded barely a month earlier on July 29, 1965. The song was also included on an early, European Dylan compilation album entitled Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits 2.An earlier, alternate version of the song has been released, in different takes, beginning with the appearance of one take on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991 in 1991.Covered by Steven Stills, Leon Russell, Marianne Faithful, Taj Mahal, Paul Westerberg, Robyn Hitchcock and Lucinda Williams Dylan's live debut of the song came as part of Dylan's controversial electric set, backed by members of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Al Kooper, at the Newport Folk Festival on July 25, 1965, after "Maggie's Farm".[2][4][5][7] After being heckled during the electric set, and especially during "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry", by fans who wanted Dylan to play acoustic folk music, Dylan returned to play acoustic versions of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue".[4][7] The Newport performance of "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" features jamming by guitarist Bloomfield and organist Al Kooper.[4] Dylan played it live as part of his set in the August 1971 Concert for Bangladesh. This version was included in the concert film and Grammy Award-winning album of the same title.[2]A.         Dead played it 7 times:first time on June 10, 1973 at RFK Stadium (D.C.) with Allman Brothersfive times in 1991 and once on March 16, 1992 at the Spectrum, Philly Released on Dead album:  Postcards of the Hanging (March, 2002) B.         Jerry's various bands played it about 60 times,first time on January 15, 1972 at Keystone Korner in S.F. w/Merle SaundersLast time by JGB: March 4, 1995 at the Warfield in S.F.                                SHOW #1:           Finders Keepers                                Track No. 1                                3:00 – 4:13                 Finders Keepers was performed over 20 times by Jerry Garcia with the Garcia/Saunders band, Legion of Mary and Reconstruction between 1973 and 1979.On the 1973 Garcia/Saunders Keystone double album the song is called Finders Keepers and is correctly credited to Johnston and Bowen. The song was written by General Johnson, a member of the group Chairmen Of The Board, and Jeffrey Bowen, the producer of the Chairmen Of The Board recording. The song was originally released by the Chairmen Of The Board as a single with a vocal version of the song on the A side and an instrumental version on the B-side.  Chairmen of the Board is an American-Canadian, Detroit, Michigan-based soul musicgroup, who saw their greatest commercial success in the 1970s.  SHOW #2:           The Harder They Come                                Track No. 2                                1:05 – 2:18 "The Harder They Come" is a reggae song by the Jamaican singer Jimmy Cliff. It was first recorded for the soundtrack of the 1972 movie of the same name, in which it is supposed to have been written by the film's main character, Ivanhoe Martin. In 1969, singer Jimmy Cliff met film director Perry Henzell, who was intending to make a film about a musician who turned to crime. Cliff agreed to take the lead role, and the film was shot over the next two years. During filming, Cliff came up with the line "the harder they come". Henzell thought it would make a good title for the film, and asked Cliff to write and record a theme song for it.[2]The actual recording of the track, at Dynamic Sounds (Muscle Shoals, 1971), was filmed for inclusion in the movie. Cliff wrote the melody, and improvised the lyrics. The musicians were Gladstone Anderson (piano), Winston Wright (organ), Winston Grennan (drums), Linford "Hux" Brown (lead guitar), Ranford "Ranny Bop" Williams (rhythm guitar), and Clifton "Jackie" Jackson (bass).[2]Reggae track recorded in Jamaica in 1972 Covered by:  JGB (Kean College 2.2.80), Cher, Keith Richards (b-side to his single, Run Rudolph Run 1978), Rancid, Joe Strummer, Wayne Kramer, moe., Willie Nelson, Guster, Widespread Panic and many others The Harder They Come was performed over 350 times by Jerry Garcia/Merl Saunders groups and by the Jerry Garcia Band between 1973 and 1995. The lyrics and music for the song are included in the Jerry Garcia Songbook. Also played by Phil Lesh & Friends, Billy & The Kids, Voodoo Dead and Bob Weir with Soul Ska.                                SHOW #3:           That's All Right Mama                                Track No. 3                                2:20 – 3:59                                Featuring:  Bill Atwood on Trumpet and Sara Fulcher on vocals                                                              The song was written by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, and originally recorded by him in Chicago on September 6, 1946, as "That's All Right". Some of the lyrics are traditional blues verses first recorded by Blind Lemon Jefferson in 1926.[5][6] Crudup's recording was released as a single in 1947 on RCA Victor 20–2205, but was less successful than some of his previous recordings. One of the experts who consider the Crudup recording to be the "first rock and roll song" is Southeastern Louisiana University rock historian Joseph Burns, who adds that "this song could contain the first ever guitar solo break". Elvis Presley's version was recorded in July 1954.[10] While recording an album as part of a trio called The Blue Moon Boys, the band played "That's All Right" in between takes, and the uptempo style characteristic of rockabilly caught the attention of studio executive Sam Phillips, who asked for a refinement of the interpretation that was later recorded.[11] Its catalogue number was Sun 209.[12] The song was released under its original title, "That's All Right", and names the performers as Elvis Presley, Scotty, and Bill.[13] The Presley version was not identical to Crudup's since it was "at least twice as fast as the original".[2] His version is considered by some music critics as one of the records that was the first in the rock n'roll genre.  A 2004 article in The Guardian argues that rather than Presley's version being one of the first records of rock and roll, it was simply one of "the first white artists' interpretations of a sound already well-established by black musicians almost a decade before [...] a raucous, driving, unnamed variant of rhythm and blues". Covered by the Grateful Dead once with allman Brothers on June 10, 1973 (RFK great version with Jerry and Dickey Betts trading off lead licks) and once om April 18, 1986 at Berkeley Community TheaterPlayed regularly by JGB and other versions from the ‘70's until the end in 1995.                               SHOW #4:           Second That Emotion                                Track No. 5                                7:00 – 8:29 "I Second That Emotion" is a 1967 song written by Smokey Robinson and Al Cleveland. First charting as a hit for Smokey Robinson and the Miracles on the Tamla/Motown label in 1967, "I Second That Emotion" was later a hit single for the group duet Diana Ross & the Supremes and The Temptations, also on the Motown label. One morning in 1967, Robinson and Cleveland were shopping at Hudson's, a Detroit department store. Robinson found a set of pearls for his wife, Claudette. "They're beautiful." he said to the salesperson. "I sure hope she likes them." Cleveland then added "I second that emotion." Both songwriters laughed at Cleveland's malapropism; he had meant to say "I second that motion." The two were immediately inspired to write a song using the incorrect phrase. Was performed a handful of times (7) by the Grateful Dead in April, 1971First:  April 8, 1971 at The Music Hall, BostonLast:  April 29, 1971 at Fillmore East NYC Part of Jerry's bands repertoire between 1973 and 1994 (played almost 200 times)  OUTRO:                Sweet Little Angel                                Track #7                                2:20 – 3:59                 Written by BB King and Jules Taub in September, 1956                Some say it is an adaption of Black Angel Blues written by Lucille Bogan in December, 1930 In 1956, B.B. King recorded "Sweet Little Angel" (RPM Records 468). According to King, "I got the idea for 'Sweet Little Angel' from Robert Nighthawk's 'Sweet Black Angel', though I later discovered that the song had been recorded by someone before Nighthawk. At the time 'black' was not a popular word, as it is now. Instead of using the old title, I changed it to 'Sweet Little Angel'—and that was a pretty big record for me".[6] King's version, which included a horn section, was a stylistic shift for the song and it became a hit, reaching number eight on the Billboard R&B chart.[7] In 1957, he re-recorded "Sweet Little Angel" for his first album Singin' the Blues. Both versions prominently feature B.B. King's guitar work, with his note-bends "sounding almost like a lap steel in places.”

It may seem like a simple question but could you explain why the earth revolves around the sun? That is what listener Josh from New York wants to know. For much of human history we thought everything revolved around us, literally. So how did humans come to the conclusion that we're not the centre of the universe? And how did the scientific process help us uncover the true order of things? Looking through telescopes from the vantage point of Australia, host Caroline Steel speaks with astronomers and physicists about the bumpy scientific journey to arrive at this discovery that we now take for granted. Delving into Indigenous astronomy with researcher Peter Swanton, Caroline questions whether Western scientists were really the first ones to grasp this understanding of our solar system. And at the Sydney Observatory, stellar astrophysicist Devika Kamath and Sydney Observatory host Nada Salama show Caroline some of the clues up in the sky that astronomers in the 1600s used to deduce that there was something wrong with earlier models of our solar system. Rhett Allain from Southeastern Louisiana University helps break down the physics concepts at play when it comes to the motion of our planets and the sun. Through her exploration of a seemingly simple question, Caroline asks some big questions as she looks up to the stars – about life, the universe, and the nature of science itself.

Sean Michael Chick on “General P. G. T. Beauregard” For more information: WWW.ChicagoCWRT.Org In April, 1861, Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard shot into fame as the Confederate commander who commanded the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Often given high-level commands thereafter, a combination of ill-health, and disagreements with President Davis, limited his service thereafter, though he played a key role in the defense of both Charleston and Petersburg. This month, we will enjoy a presentation on this enigmatic and colorful general, a man whom his many admirers thought was a potential Napoleon. Few Civil War generals attracted as much debate and controversy as Beauregard. P. G. T. combined brilliance and charisma with arrogance and histrionics, the latter often alienating those he had to deal with. Sean Michael Chick graduated from the University of New Orleans with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Communications, and from Southeastern Louisiana University with a Master of Arts in History. He currently works in New Orleans, leading historic tours of his hometown and helping residents and visitors appreciate the city's past. He is also a board game designer, concentrating on the period of Western warfare from 1685-1866. His publications include The Battle of Petersburg, June 15-18, 1864 (Potomac Books, 2015) and Grant's Left Hook: The Bermuda Hundred Campaign, May 5-June 7, 1864 (Savas Beatie, 2021). His Dreams of Victory: General P.G.T. Beauregard in the Civil War (Savas Beatie, 2022) is the basis for this talk.

Welcome to this Aphasia Access Aphasia Conversations Podcast. My name is Janet Patterson. I am a Research Speech-Language Pathologist at the VA Northern California Healthcare System in Martinez, California, and a member of the Aphasia Access Podcast Working Group. Aphasia Access strives to provide members with information, inspiration, and ideas that support their efforts in engaging with persons with aphasia and their families through a variety of educational materials and resources. I am today's host for today's episode that will feature Dr. Nina Simmons-Mackie and Dr. Jamie Azios. These Show Notes accompany the conversation with Dr. Simmons-Mackie and Dr. Azios but are not a verbatim transcript.         In today's episode you will learn about: Lache Pas La Patate! and aphasia The importance of being mindful of gap areas in aphasia service and research Moving aphasia care best practices from knowledge to action Dr. Janet Patterson: Welcome to our listeners. Today I am delighted to be speaking with two individuals who are well known in the field of aphasia rehabilitation, Dr. Nina Simmons-Mackie and Dr. Jamie Azios. Nina and Jamie authored the text, Aphasia in North America, which is also known as the State of Aphasia Report. The original State of Aphasia Report was published by Aphasia Access in 2018, and contains information describing, among other topics, the frequency and demographics of aphasia and its impact on individuals and society, and aphasia services and service gaps. The State of Aphasia Report is a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, administrators, and third-party funding agencies as we seek to craft a rehabilitation atmosphere that balances the treatment evidence base, the resource support for community aphasia groups, and the principles of client centered care. An updated State of Aphasia Report is forthcoming.   Each of our Podcasts in 2021 and 2022 highlighted at least one of the gap areas in aphasia care mentioned in the original State of Aphasia Report. For more information on the original State of Aphasia report, check out Podcast Episode #62 with Dr. Liz Hoover, as she describes these ten gap areas and their impact on aphasia rehabilitation. Our conversation today takes a broader view of the aphasia service gaps, crossing all ten gap areas. My questions for Nina and Jamie will ask them to reflect on the impetus for the original State of Aphasia Report, as well as the changes that appear in the updated State of Aphasia Report.   My first guest is Dr. Nina Simmons-Mackie, Professor Emeritus at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana. She has received the honors of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the Louisiana Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and the Academy of Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences. She has published numerous articles and chapters and has had many years of clinical, academic and research experience in the area of adult aphasia. Also joining me today is Dr. Jamie H. Azios. She is the Doris B. Hawthorne Endowed Chair in the Department of Communicative Disorders at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette. Her research interests include qualitative research methodologies, understanding perspectives of people living with communication disabilities, co-constructed conversation and aphasia, and the impact of communicative environments on social participation and inclusion. She has published articles related to client centeredness, communication access, and life participation approaches to aphasia. Welcome Nina and Jamie to Aphasia Access Conversations and our discussion about the State of Aphasia Reports.   Dr. Nina Simmons-Mackie: Thanks Janet, happy to be here.   Dr. Jamie Azios: Really excited and honored to be here. Thanks for having us.   Janet: Good, and I look forward to a great discussion and learning about the State of Aphasia Reports. Nina and Jamie, I would like to begin our chat today by asking about the original State of Aphasia Report. Many of our listeners are familiar with the book, which is a resource published by aphasia access, describing the social, financial and life quality consequences of aphasia. It contains current statistics, compelling stories, and a one-stop report to understand the state of aphasia care in North America. Nina, you were the impetus for this project and oversaw its production. How did you organize a team to think about the need for this project and envision the value it could provide to people with aphasia, clinicians, medical and rehabilitation professionals interested in aphasia, administrators, and organizations who fund aphasia research?   Nina: Well Janet, when I started out in the field of aphasia, it wasn't all that difficult to review the literature on an aspect of aphasia. Now, the amount of information is just overwhelming. A kernel of an idea started forming as I was involved in a variety of projects that required a huge amount of effort gathering statistics and references to justify different types of services for aphasia. As I talked to lots of colleagues floating the idea for a comprehensive report, everybody agreed that it would be immensely helpful to pull data from diverse sources into one document. Something that could be a quick reference for grants or advocacy or program proposals.   I also had some personal experiences at the time that highlighted some gaps in the system of care for aphasia. So, it really struck me as a worthwhile undertaking and the board of Aphasia Access was really supportive of the idea. We succeeded in pulling together a diverse team of experts to serve on an advisory committee to review the chapters and vet the information. The report was originally envisioned as a relatively brief statement of gaps, but as I got into the literature, I realized that it was too much for just a short paper. In fact, it turned into 163 pages in the original document published in 2018. Now, it's been about five years since this publication, and so much has happened in the aphasia world. So, we felt like it was time for an update. Next year, we hope the state of aphasia will be published. Jamie graciously agreed to join me in this project, researching and writing the updated report. Jamie, you might have some comments on the update.   Jamie: Yeah, it's been so fun to work on this project with Nina. I've learned a lot from reviewing all the work in our field, and other fields too. Just getting my feet wet with the kind of experiences that Nina was talking about, pulling together this key information from so many places. It's been really challenging, but it's also been really rewarding.   I didn't realize just how much has changed in the last five years. There're just some amazing things happening in terms of aphasia programming, and technology, and attempts at overcoming gaps and equity and inclusion. That's not even talking about the way stroke and aphasia care has been impacted by our worldwide pandemic. So, in terms of what's new for the update, you can expect us to hit on all those new key areas. We're really going to try to highlight both the gaps and solutions over the last five years.   Janet: You both describe such an exciting project. Time flies, and things happen. And if you get busy in your own little world, sometimes you don't recognize all the things that are going on around you and all the changes. This is a great idea that you had 100 years ago Nina or maybe five or six. I'm glad Jamie, you're part of the current project. One component of the original State of Aphasia in North America is a list of ten gap areas, and you mentioned those a moment ago Jamie, gap areas in aphasia care and aphasia research. In planning our podcasts, we identified at least one of these gap areas to highlight in each interview. The ten gap areas are listed in the show notes for this conversation and discussed in Aphasia Access Podcast Episode #62 with Dr. Liz Hoover. So, Nina and Jamie as well, how did your team identify the gap areas for the original State of Aphasia Report and consider the potential for their influence on aphasia care and research?   Nina: Well, really the gap areas grew directly out of the data. It was similar to a literature review. The main difference is that a typical literature review addresses a specific topic, whereas this report addressed any topic that might be useful to advocate for aphasia services. So, the sources included government statistics, some original surveys of clinicians in North America, and grey literature. Both Jamie and I have a background in qualitative research so our approach has been pretty much like qualitative research. We take a broad-based look at the literature and identify themes that seem like topics that would be important in advocating for aphasia services. And then as we dig in and begin collecting the information, the gap areas become fairly obvious. In other words, we don't just think up gap areas. They represent what is described in the aphasia literature.   Jamie: We mentioned this earlier, but one of the big gap areas that's going to be recognized in the update, likely because of the impact of COVID and our shifts to engaging more digitally, is the idea the inaccessibility that people with aphasia have when it comes to using technology. We know that there has always been a digital divide, but it seems like COVID, and the loss of face-to-face contact has really widened that gap. Also widening that gap is just the fact that older people in general are using technology more and people with aphasia seem to be falling behind when compared to their age-matched peers due to these accessibility issues. The data show that people with aphasia don't text as much as other people their age, they seem to have more difficulty retaining technology skills, they have difficulty using social media platforms. We know that these things are critical for maintaining social connection. So even before COVID, we saw an increasing use of technology to access information, interaction, across a range of activities. But during COVID, and even after COVID, there's an absolute explosion. We do plan to dedicate a chapter to technology and accessibility.   Janet: That's good, which leads me right into my next question for the two of you. I wonder if you would reflect on the original State of Aphasia Report and its contents and describe the changes in the information in the updated State of Aphasia Report? In particular, would you comment on the ten gap areas in the original report, and any changes in the updated report? I know you've alluded to a few of them in the last few minutes, but I'd like you if you will, take a few more minutes to be a little more specific about the nature of the gap areas, and how they're changing as we look forward to the updated State of Aphasia Report.   Nina: I think the original report definitely raised an awareness of the gaps and aphasia services. Those gap areas remain relevant, so it's not like we're going to drop out gap areas. But the good news is that there's been a surge in the research and the literature relative to some of those gaps. It's typical that there is a significant lag from research and publications to implementing research into actual daily practice. This is what's interesting relative to the update, looking at how those gaps have affected actual daily practice. I think there have been two Podcasts on implementation that aphasia access has presented. One was Rob Cavanaugh talking about issues in implementation back in October, and Natalie Douglas talked about implementation science in 2021. That's significant relative to the gaps and aphasia services that we've recognized. I'll give you an example. A very recent Podcast by Sameer Ashaie addressed mental health and people living with aphasia. Mental health services was a big gap identified in the original 2018 report. Now, as we've updated the report, we find that attention to mental health and daily aphasia practice continues to be a significant gap. Not many SLPs are screening for depression and mental health professionals remain relatively uninformed about how to conduct counseling with people with aphasia. But it's been said that approximately seven or eight years is often the time it takes to move from research to implementing research in daily practice. The good news is that the literature in the area of mental health, for example, has surged since the 2018 report. We found 47 new papers on mental health and aphasia published in just the past five years. That's a typical journey that we see from a gap in service to implementation of the services and awareness of the problem and recognition of the need to change have to happen first. I think we've met that requirement of building awareness of a lot of these gap areas.   Now, we have to focus on how to move from knowledge to action, meaning that SLPs and other health care professionals have to figure out how to address things like mental health in daily practice. I see the report as helping us see where we are on that road to best practices, and possibly pushing faster than the seven-to-eight-year gap in research to practice. Also, one of the gap areas was in SLPs addressing participation in daily practice. A very similar thing seems to have happened in that there's an increase in research in participation-oriented activities and therapy. But the actual practice, according to a survey that we've done recently shows that SLPs are about the same as they were in 2018, relative to actually integrating participation-oriented tasks into daily practices. I think it gives us an outline of where we have to move with this current report.   Jamie: Yes, and that makes me think of some of the work that I'm working on now for the updated version in communication access, which was also a gap area in the original version of the State of Aphasia Report. Something that's really struck me is that over the last five years, so far there's been 25 new communication partner training studies in healthcare settings. That includes training healthcare providers or healthcare students that are going to be working, mostly the studies are in hospitals. That's amazing, in the past five years that's a lot of work that's been done in that area.   But the other thing about that work is that has helped us learn more about the complexity of delivering an intervention like that within a health care system. A lot of the studies that have come out have also showed, by interviewing nurses and other health care staff that have been trained, that even after training healthcare providers still seem to have a really narrow understanding of what communication supports are, or there might be a burden for implementing those into their daily routine care tasks and other things that they're doing. In general, nurses have expressed more critical than positive views about the relevance and the usefulness of communication partner training. It seems like healthcare professionals know the strategies are good. They know they need to use the strategies, but then they kind of get stuck in a place of uncertainty about how to switch up when it doesn't quite go the way that they expect it to go in an interaction. I remember one of the quotes from a paper that talked about this was a nurse saying something like, “I went to use a strategy. I know it didn't work. The patient became increasingly frustrated, and I needed to use a different strategy, but I just didn't know what to do.” So, in thinking about moving forward, it's great that we see this work coming out, but it's a continued focus on shaping these programs and understanding the systems that maybe we need to approach it a little bit differently or make some adjustments so that we're really carrying through with the goal of the intervention and the outcomes are as we expect them to be and are positive.   Janet: This is exactly research into practice. Isn't what you just described, Jamie, much like all the human nature that we do? When we first learn something we're not so sure about it, and we don't quite know what to do when things don't go as we anticipate. The more familiar we become, the better we are at switching up as you say or changing or keeping our goal in mind, which is exactly what I'm hoping that we can talk about and the information in this updated State of Aphasia Report will help clinicians and researchers.   Nina, you mentioned two things that are something that I think about a lot and first of all, was your comment about the Podcast with Rob Cavanaugh. That was my Podcast with him, and we had a wonderful conversation. I love his ideas paying attention to, how do we actually deliver the service and are we doing what we think we are doing? And given the specific confines that we are working within, are we able to achieve the effect that we want, or do we have to make some changes? To me that seems like an important line of thinking and of research coming up about how we can make a difference given what we have or given whatever constraints we have.   The other comment that you made is about depression and mental illness. I think back to my Podcast with Rebecca Hunting-Pompon and some work that she's been doing, really looking at depression and the prevalence of it among people with aphasia, and it's greater than we think. So, your comment about identifying it as a gap area and what we're going to do. How are we going to take research into practice so that we can actually address those points that you're making. Which goes into my next question to ask you, as we look forward to the future of aphasia care, and specifically, as we move from research into practice, how might you see the information in the updated State of Aphasia Report and the gap areas that you'll identify within that publication? How do you see that continuing to guide aphasia care and research?   Nina: I think like the first report, the updated report will continue to raise awareness of major areas of need for people living with aphasia. I think it'll continue to serve as an advocacy tool. I know people have told me that they've pulled out parts of the original report to present to administration, and people have borrowed statistics to put into grants and things like that. So, I think those kinds of activities would continue. The report highlights areas where research is desperately needed. For example, there's a whole section on social isolation in aphasia, and we have data that's grown in the past five years verifying that this is a problem. This updated report shows that we haven't really seen very much in the way of intervention research or models for relevant interventions to address social isolation. I think as people read the report, they'll recognize areas where research is needed, and exactly where models need to look at practical ways to implement these different interventions. The report can highlight those kinds of questions so that researchers and clinicians can begin to address those questions in the next five years. It's just kind of a little push to keep the system moving along to be more efficient and more focused on addressing the needs of people living with aphasia.   Jamie: You know, another thing is, I think it's going to be good as Nina said, directing researchers and clinicians into maybe some practices that we need to make sure that we incorporate whenever we're thinking about what research is valuable, and what research is worth doing and the impact of that research on the people with aphasia. Something that's coming up as maybe a new gap area or continued gap area is the idea of stakeholder engaged research and including people with aphasia in that process. That was another Podcast that we just recently, I think, had in the last month or so. Something that Dr. Jackie Hinckley said that really struck me was that research that's produced in collaboration with stakeholders is efficient, even though it's more time consuming. That's because it has a better chance of making it into actual clinical practice. It can also be incorporated much quicker than research that's solely dictated by the interest of the researcher who likely doesn't have a full understanding of the barriers or the institutional problems that exist in a space. So, that's another idea of just thinking forward in ways that we hope that these gap areas are going to be addressed.   Janet: Both of you just in answering this last question and in things that you've said earlier, have touched upon the concept of how do you go from research to practice and most specifically, in the area of clinician work? It's lovely to say things, but how do you actually do it? How do you implement it? How do you get comfortable with a particular action and being able to change course, if that action is not working? I know it's important for aphasia clinicians and researchers to be mindful of the gap areas in aphasia care and to address them in their work, but that is a charge to us that is sometimes easier said than done. During our Aphasia Access Conversations, we've asked guests for their thoughts on how clinicians and researchers can implement actions in their daily activities to address a gap area. Importantly, we've asked our guests to consider actions that are easy to implement yet may have a broad impact on persons with aphasia or the family or the clinical environment.   I wonder if you would each share with our listeners some of your ideas and thoughts on how aphasia clinicians and researchers can remain mindful of the gap areas in the midst of their busy schedules, and feel comfortable incorporating specific actions? I see, and I know you see it as well, you get busy in a clinical life and all the daily activities, and you start to forget, “Oh yes, I should be mindful of the gap, but I forgot because I had a report to write.” So, I wonder if you could give us some very practical ideas, thinking from the perspective of a clinician and how they can bear in mind the gaps and how their actions might relate to them?   Nina: Well, one of the different things in the updated report from the original report is it will include solutions that are drawn from the research literature. But of course, the problem that you alluded to is much of our research is not always feasible in the whirlwind of everyday practices. I think the message for researchers that Jamie alluded to, is to make the interventions that are being trialed more practical by getting the input of stakeholders, of clinicians, of people with aphasia, to see if they're generalizable to everyday practice.   I think the biggest need is for all of us to remain aware of gap areas, so we're not just thinking about language, but thinking about mood, and family needs and daily lives. Awareness of gaps is the first step towards improving those services. One of the things we used to talk about a lot was long-term and short-term goals. The terminology now is sort of moving towards talking about aims and targets of therapy. Using that terminology, we need to be sure that the aims of therapy, that is the ultimate goals, are stated in terms of participation in chosen life roles or activities, not in terms of WAB scores, or how many words a person can name. In other words, the ultimate targets that are worked on in therapy need to lead to meaningful outcomes. To me, one of the most practical things is for us all to envision goal setting in a way that places us in the position of looking at what gets in the way of those big picture aims. It's not always just things like language problems. It may be other things like confidence, depression, poor support for partners, lack of opportunities to communicate with other people. So, thinking more broadly about those ultimate aims or goals for each person with aphasia helps us see what the most efficient targets are for therapy. If a big barrier is depression, then that needs to be addressed or improved, because word finding won't make any difference if the person is too depressed to engage with other people. I guess what I am saying is, being aware of gaps in services and of the domains that impact life with aphasia helps the clinician to orient to what is needed most for that person, rather than what we habitually just go in and do every day.   Another suggestion is to get help. Going back to the example of the mental health needs. Maybe investing initial energy in training some mental health professionals on your rehab team or in your community how to communicate with people with aphasia, and how to do that kind of specialized counseling that's needed for this population. Then, when somebody pops up and you feel that they're depressed, you have a resource there that you can refer the person with aphasia to, so that it doesn't fall on your own shoulders to manage the depression yourself. The same thing goes with using the rehab team to increase participation. So that whole idea of dividing and conquering. As I said, the updated report shows that SLPs don't focus that much on participation-oriented activities. But if the rehab team all identified a participation goal in unison, that interprofessional kind of approach, and then all worked together towards fulfillment of that aim or participation goal, then it takes a little of the burden off the SLP in their daily frenzy of activity.   Janet: You know, Nina, you gave an excellent example. Another good example and an illustration of that was in a conversation with Mary Purdy a little while earlier this year, where she talked about interprofessional education. One of the goals, which is exactly what you said, was how do you get the rehab team thinking about it? The example that she gave was from her own personal experience about everybody was working towards helping an individual. The problem, what got in the way, the individual wanted to knit and couldn't knit. So how do they all work together, from language, from the occupational therapist, and physical therapist, to remove the obstacles and then allow the rehabilitation to consider. So, that's exactly right. And, Jamie, I know you've got some ideas as well.   Jamie: Well, that was just inspiring. It makes me want to go be a clinician every day again in long term care, because it's just really inspiring to think about change in that way of clinical practice. What came to me when you said easy to implement, but have a broad impact, it brought me back to a paper that I was reading. It's by Mia Loft and colleagues, and it's called, Call for Human Contact and Support. It's a paper about stroke survivors and their experiences in inpatient rehabilitation. Essentially, what they communicated was that they just wanted to be treated like humans. They wanted to be asked how they were doing. They wanted to be talked to like they were a person and not a patient. The really interesting thing was that they felt like these negative experiences really derailed their rehabilitation and motivation to get better, because they were so worried about what was going to happen after they left this place, “What happens when I go home? Am I going to go back to work?” These really negative emotional feelings disrupted the very start of their rehabilitation journey. Instead, what they ended up doing was kind of sitting in isolation most of the time and feeling like their interactions with healthcare workers were negative. That made me think back to the tiny habits talk that Linda Worrall gave at IARC. We as SLPs, we're the models for what good communication looks like in those settings. I think it's kind of our responsibility to start building those habits into our own practices. It might change a little bit of a shift in our view about what therapy looks like, and what's our role in that situation. It might take us recognizing the importance of stopping and asking somebody, how are you doing, but really listening. Maybe starting small with some of those tiny habits and being a model can really influence our other colleagues that we're working with of the importance of these small things in the rehab journey for the patient, especially early on when they're dealing with these emotional consequences of diagnosis.   Janet: You mentioned the word motivation, which of course was another previous Podcast with Mike Biel talking about the role of motivation. Everybody says, “oh yes, yes, motivation is important to consider.” But nobody really does much about it. I mean, how do you know if somebody's motivated or not? To your point about sitting in isolation in the care facility, you can't just say that patient is not motivated, therefore, we're not going to do a particular activity. Until you have a discussion, you don't know. You don't know what they want to achieve, which is back to your comment earlier Nina, about what does this patient want to achieve in the long run? What is the aim here? And if you can have those conversations, find out the motivation, I think you have a greater likelihood of a maximum outcome, positive outcome of the rehabilitation journey.   I thought of something and wonder about this idea. Wouldn't it be fun...well, maybe it wouldn't be fun, I don't know, developing a little sort of cheat sheet or a little card that the Aphasia Access might put out that has these gap areas. If it's cute, designed well, it may be something that clinicians could put on their badge or keep on their clipboards. Instead of having to remember it in their brain, it's all right there in front of them - “Remember about these gap areas is you provide a service to an individual with aphasia.”   Nina: That's a great idea. Little infographic that's something people can carry around and remind themselves. Good idea.   Jamie: Yeah, I love it.   Janet: Well, thank you. Let's see if it comes to pass because it truly is, I think very difficult to bear everything in mind when you're in a busy schedule. Anything that we can do to help a clinician have an easier life, like you don't have to remember the gap areas, they're right here in front of you, we'll see. It's an idea.   As we draw this interview to a close, Nina and Jamie, I wonder if you would each reflect on your work and experience in aphasia rehabilitation, and in preparing the State of Aphasia Reports. Are there a few pearls of wisdom, or lessons learned or words of guidance you might offer our listeners, as they interact with persons with aphasia, and approach aphasia care on a daily basis?   Nina: Well, I'm not sure I have any pearls, maybe some grains of sand to irritate the thought process. I think the first point I would make is understanding, or deeply understanding the values of a life participation approach to aphasia, is critical to achieving relevant and meaningful outcomes. I think the most important clinical skill, and I alluded to this earlier, is knowing how to set meaningful participation goals in collaboration with clients. Once we learn this, then the rest sort of falls into place because you're thinking about the big picture and what is important where. I think that's a key thing is learning how to write those big picture goals, and then see how to get there.   I think everyone involved with aphasia should read Linda Worrall's Seven habits of highly successful aphasia therapists. I think her PowerPoint on that topic that she presented is available on the Aphasia Access website. It's a common sense and elegant outline of the Must Do's for any aphasia therapist. It's seven things that make a good aphasia therapist, and if each item on her list were addressed, we could probably scratch off a bunch of gaps in services. I think that's another one of the things that I would recommend.   Jamie: Yeah, that is a great paper. It's been so influential for me and working with people with aphasia, but training clinicians, it's a great paper. I don't have any pearls of wisdom, either. I guess my only advice and Nina you've probably heard this saying before. This is something that is said down here in Cajun country in our French culture. It's “lache pas la patate”. It means, “don't drop the potato”. Essentially what that means is, even when things get really hard, don't give up. So if you're a clinician working in a situation where it's really hard for you to feel like you can achieve some of the things that we're talking about today, don't give up and know that we're all working towards this goal. We are recognizing these issues. I promise you, we're all thinking about these things, and that we're in it together.   Janet: I love that phrase, Jamie. I'm going to learn to have it trickle off my tongue and I'm going to use it frequently. That's a great idea. Doesn't it really describe how we want to be acting as humans. We're all in this together. Be a human. This person with aphasia is another human and we're trying to help this human with aphasia, given the skills that we possess that they perhaps don't. But they possess skills that we perhaps don't so together, we're on the rehab journey. Say it again, the phrase. “lash……”   Jamie: Lache pas la patate   Janet: Lache pas la patate. We're going to remember that phrase.   Thank you, Nina and Jamie for being part of the Aphasia Access Conversations, and for your efforts in creating the State of Aphasia Reports. I look forward to reading the updated version and seeing how its information will influence aphasia rehabilitation, and how it can assist clinicians and researchers as we continually work to improve care for and partnership with persons with aphasia and their families. I especially, am thankful that we had such a fun conversation, and I learned a new term today. The conversation we had continues to make me mindful of how we interact with everyone in our world, especially those people who have aphasia and their family members. And the people who work with or treat those people who have aphasia and their family members.

I'm a speech language pathologist on staff at the Aphasia Center of California, and I see clients with aphasia and other neurogenic communication impairments in my LPAA focused private practice. Aphasia Access strives to provide members with information, inspiration and ideas that support their aphasia care through a variety of educational materials and resources.   I'm pleased to be joining the podcast as today's host for an episode that will feature Melinda Corwin and Brooke Halliwell. We'll be discussing Aphasia Access's new online project, Person-Centered Care: The Life Participation Approach to Aphasia Knowledge Course, which debuts this month, I had the pleasure of playing a small role in this project as the narrator for the course.    Melinda Corwin is a University Distinguished Professor and clinical supervisor at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, where she has worked since 1994. Prior to her university position, she worked as a hospital speech language pathologist. She directs the Stroke and Aphasia Recovery, or STAR, program, a community outreach program in Lubbock, Texas, for persons with aphasia and their families.   Brooke Hallowell is a professor and dean of health sciences at Springfield College. Brooke is a specialist in neurogenic communication disorders and has been working clinically, teaching future clinicians, and engaging in research on aphasia for 25 years.

Professor Halliwell is the author of Aphasia and Other Acquired Neurogenic Language Disorders: A Guide for Clinical Excellence, Second Edition.    Thank you for joining me. I wanted to start with an “aha moment,” anything that stands out for you in terms of the Life Participation Approach. Who would like to start?   Melinda Corwin So, at our university, I got to meet a man who was in his 60s, he had survived a stroke two years prior, he was single and living in a long term care facility. He didn't have any family locally. He came to our university community outreach program for people with aphasia. And after about six months of being with us, he confided to his student clinician one day that he wondered if he could work out a payment plan to pay for throat surgery to fix his problems with speech and communication. And we realized that he did not understand the nature of aphasia. He actually thought there was a surgery available to fix or cure it, and that because he was low income, he didn't have the money to afford it.    That was my aha moment, where I realized that we had failed him, our system had failed him. This man deserved to have access to his health information regarding his diagnosis, his condition, his prognosis, and he didn't get that as part of his ability to participate in his life and in his health care plan. And I knew we could do better. And so I found colleagues and friends through Aphasia Access, and I'm really hoping and working towards a systemic change for that reason.    Lyssa Rome Thank you. Brooke, what about you?   Brooke Hallowell Well, I continue to have aha moments. For for me, one that stands out relates to my role as an educator and a person who teaches courses in aphasia and author to support learning and future clinicians who will be working with people who have aphasia. It was hard for many of us who were raised with a focus on medical and impairment-based, deficit-focused models of aphasia, to integrate our appreciation for foci on life participation with how we were taught, and may have previously taught and mentored our students. It's as if, for many of us, the recognition of how essential it is for us to embrace life participation was there long before we had a good grasp on how to integrate life participation holistically into our educational content. We wanted to make sure our students knew about medical, neuroscientific, neuropsychological, psycholinguistic, etc., aspects of aphasia, and we wanted to make sure they knew about the theoretical underpinnings of aphasia-related content. So if you think about what we can cover in a course, in our limited time with future clinicians, we felt and still do just never have sufficient time to delve into some of the really critical life participation content.    So for me it kind of aha moment. Although I gotta say it wasn't. So sudden as a flash at a single moment in time, maybe an aha phase. It relates to the importance of helping current and future clinicians embrace that we all need to be able to hold several conceptual frameworks about aphasia in our minds at the same time, and that by understanding and appreciating multiple perspectives, we didn't have to necessarily choose one over the other. We didn't have to argue about which models were better than others, or whether working on impairment level deficits was somehow not essential to life participation. Once that realization was clear within me, I found that it was easier to integrate life participation and the ICF framework through our all of our discussions and teaching about aphasia and other disorders as well.    Many of us invested in life participation approaches have supported one another in that sort of integration of multiple frameworks in our thinking, and in our work. Aphasia Access has been a powerful force in that regard. The mutual support to hold life participation paramount, no matter what are other theoretical perspectives, and medical or non-medical orientations.   Lyssa Rome Thank you. I think that leads really nicely, actually, into this topic of the knowledge course that that Aphasia Access has developed and that's debuting this month. So can you tell us a little bit more about the project and how it began?   Melinda Corwin The project began with the plight of both people with aphasia and speech language pathologist. Of course, SLPs know that people with aphasia want to participate in life, which means their current life as a patient, or in their life when they go back home and their life years into the future. The plight for speech language pathologists is that they face enormous time limitations, insurance reimbursement constraints, they have increased workload across all the different healthcare systems and settings. And so providing true person-centered care, health equity, and personalized goals for each person that we serve can feel almost impossible.    This challenge was so pervasive that it appeared in a comprehensive report written by Nina Simmons-Mackie in 2018, called Aphasia in North America, and it's available from Aphasia Access. In her report, she listed the gap areas and so we really wanted to focus on gap area number five, which is related to insufficient attention to life participation across the continuum of care. And also gap area number six, which is related to insufficient training and protocols or guidelines to aid speech language pathologists and other health care professionals in the implementation of this participation-oriented intervention across the continuum of care.   So the year that her report came out a team of aphasia clinicians, researchers, and program providers mobilized to invent a product to concretely try to address these gap areas. We wanted to offer busy clinicians and healthcare professionals training that they wouldn't have to travel to, and something that was more than a webinar. We did a lot of research to produce the learning experience, and we tried to provide the most contemporary, interactive learning methods for adults. Our beta testers have said that they have found the course to be different and highly valuable.   Lyssa Rome So I think obviously, there's this big need. And I'm wondering, Brooke, maybe if you could speak a little bit more to how this person-centered care approach can support the goals of increasing life participation, and maybe differentiate a little bit between clinician-centered care and person-centered care for people with aphasia?   Brooke Hallowell  Sure. In clinician-centered care, the clinician is really in charge of all aspects of intervention. The clinician is the boss. The clinician decides what will be assessed and how it will be assessed. The clinician interprets the assessment results. And from that, sets goals for the person with aphasia. And the clinician decides on the treatment methods that will be used to reach those goals. And that's very different from person-centered care, where the person and the clinician are collaborators from the start, they work together to determine priorities for what that person really wants to be able to do in life and how communication affects what a person wants to do.   In person-centered care, the person's priorities are really the primary focus of assessment and goal setting and every aspect of intervention. And the person and the clinician set goals collaboratively, often including other people that are important in that person's life. And together, they collaborate in selecting what goals will get prioritized, and what the context is for working on those goals that's most relevant to the person.    So the person's priorities are at the heart of our work in person-centered care. We clinicians collaborate with the person, and those people who are important to the person, at every stage of goal setting, assessment, treatment planning, etc.   Lyssa Rome So thinking about person-centered care, I'm wondering if you can describe a little bit more about the goals of this knowledge course and how they relate to person-centered care.   Brooke Hallowell Sure, the overarching goal is to provide learners with foundational, verifiable knowledge that's critical for providing person-centered care. Person-centered care is a universal and global need for people who have aphasia, and those who are important in their lives. The Life Participation Approach is fundamental to this wish that clinicians worldwide have for people with aphasia. That's increased participation in life regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, national origin, geographic location, religious or other beliefs—regardless of any individual differences.   This course is the first in a series. The knowledge course consists of eight online, self-paced interactive modules, each of which contains three specific learning objectives. The knowledge course is a standardized way that clinicians—from novices to experienced clinicians—can be formally recognized as a Life Participation Approach professional. When a person successfully completes the course, they earn an eBadge, a certificate, and an optional 2.5 continuing education credits for those who are members of the American Speech Language Hearing Association.    Next year, Aphasia Access will release the second in the series: the practice course. That course will build on the fundamentals of the knowledge course, passing that course will lead to the award of a second badge focused on implementation strategies across care settings. Every course module is designed to provide practical suggestions, graphics, dynamic video clips, and interactive and reflective activities to help key concepts come alive.   Lyssa Rome Tell us a little bit more about the content team. Who worked on this badge project?   Melinda Corwin This is Melinda and it's been an honor to serve as the content team manager for the project. For the knowledge course we had eight members on our team. Our lead author is Nina Simmons-Mackie, who's a professor emeritus at Southeastern Louisiana University. Of course, Brooke Hallowell, who as you said, is professor and dean of health sciences at Springfield College. Brooke also secured a grant to help with funding portions of this project and we could not have done it without her.   And our other team members include Katarina Haley, who is a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and she directs the UNC Center for Aphasia and Related Disorders. Mary Hildebrand is a recently retired associate professor and program director of the occupational therapy department at Massachusetts General Hospital or MGH Institute of Health Professions. Jacqueline Laures-Gore is an associate professor of communication sciences and disorders at Georgia State University. We have Marjorie Nicholas, who's the chair of the communication sciences and disorders department at MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston. And last but not least, our project manager Kathryn Shelley. She is co-founder and current grants director of the Aphasia Center of West Texas, and she's also a former president of Aphasia Access, and this course would not be possible without Kathryn's guidance.   Lyssa Rome Tell us a little bit more about what the benefits are of having this eBadge or taking this course.   Brooke Hallowell Sure, this is Brooke. The badge is going to convey to others that the participant has a firm foundation of person-centered care, which is, as we know, at the heart of the life participation approach. So benefits include delivering equitable, person-centered care through collaborative goal setting and intervention, improving success for people with aphasia, and those who care about them and helping specific care settings meet communication access mandates.   When an eBadge is displayed in an email signature, or on social media, there'll be a clickable link. And that will help employers, or colleagues, or the people that we serve, even friends and family, link to a full description of what it means to have earned that eBadge.   Lyssa Rome Great. Many of the professionals who are involved in Aphasia Access are experts in the life participation approach. So why would they want to take this course to document their knowledge?   Melinda Corwin This is Melinda. Well, by devoting personal time, energy, and resources to earn an eBadge, it's an efficient way to let others know that we share a common goal to provide patient-centered care across the continuum of care. And regardless of what setting a particular professional is in, whether they're in an acute care hospital, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient rehab, home health, or community-level aphasia program, or group, these eBadge holders will be able to identify each other.   I'm a university professor and director of an aphasia community outreach program. I've been trying to teach and use the Life Participation Approach for several years, and I've wanted to spread the word with other speech language pathologists. So by adding this symbol to my email signature, I hope that colleagues will click on the eBadge and see what I've been up to.    My decision to display the eBadge is my way to help make system change possible, I envision a day in which all healthcare providers will aspire to provide patient-centered care, essentially from the ambulance ride to the emergency center, all the way to the person's return to home and community.   Lyssa Rome The benefits of this seem really clear. But will this eBadge or certificate be required for a clinician to to employ a person-centered or life participation approach to aphasia? Brooke?   Brooke Hallowell Oh, no, definitely not. I have to chime in on that. We know that many clinicians are deeply engaged in this approach. And many have adhered to this approach for years and in ways that may not have been labeled expressly as life participation approach. Still, based on gaps that we know exists in our current healthcare and community settings, we hope that the eBadge will really help clinicians showcase their knowledge to employers and peers and the people they serve. Engaging in the course itself can provide support for students and clinicians who want to consider life participation constructs, perhaps more deeply or in new ways. And as Melinda was just intimating, it's also a means of confirming shared values about life participation amongst us.   Lyssa Rome So when people have completed this course, how is that displayed as an eBadge? Melinda, maybe you can take that one?   Melinda Corwin Yes. So it'll be in the person's email signature line, if they choose to place it there. And the eBadge is from a company called Credly, which enables anyone to click on the badge icon and be taken to a website that explains exactly what training the person completed to earn that eBadge.   Brooke Hallowell Yeah, and it's so easy to register for the course, just go to the Aphasia Access website. That's www.aphasiaaccess.org. From there, you'll see the link to the knowledge course on the homepage. And that will take you to our new Aphasia Access Academy, which is the new home for all of our educational experiences. There is a cost. The cost for Aphasia Access members is $129. And for non-members, it's $179.    And if you're not already an Aphasia Access member, your enrollment in the course includes a one year, first-time membership. So it's really a wonderful way to experience so many benefits of our Aphasia Access membership and network. We have our Brag and Steal events, the distinguished lecture series, shared free resources, there's a discount registration for the Leadership Summit, and there are also on-demand pre-recorded webinars. So all of that comes along with that membership.    Lyssa Rome Well, I'm really excited about this course. And I appreciate your sharing more details about it. And I'm wondering if there are any last thoughts that you'd like to share with our listeners?   Brooke Hallowell Yeah, this is Brooke, I would just I've been reflecting as we've had this conversation today about how amazing it was to work with this collaborative team in developing the course. You know, I think all of us who have been involved in this from the beginning felt like we were already expert in the life participation approach. There isn't that much more to learn. But in fact, there was a tremendous amount of dynamic discussion, argumentation, passionate discussion about the various aspects of the life participation and how to portray it, how to talk about it, and what terms to use and not use. So I feel like I grew tremendously from the process of the course development. And I think a lot of that, I certainly hope that a lot of that comes out to people who participate in the course. So even if you think you're already expert in it, I'd still recommend that you give it a try for all the reasons that we talked about, and including that there's always more for all of us to learn about this approach.   Lyssa Rome So true.
