Abstract

Speech-language pathologists and social workers at the three Aphasia Centres in Ontario, Canada, work in partnership with aphasic adults and their families to increase communicative access to participation in various aspects of social and community life. The delivery of optimal service in this context requires an expansion of the traditional role played by speech-language pathologists in the field of aphasia. Illustrative ideas, activities, and programs developed by the three centers are described with emphasis on the benefits of a professional partnership between the professions of speech-language pathology and social work.
