Speech pathologists should talk with the person with aphasia and their family about the roles the client has in the family and community.
Reference: Coffin et al., 2004
NHMRC level of Evidence: GPP
Rationale: Apart from helping to build a relationship, such conversations may reveal important information that can guide a speech pathologist’s interactions and management. For example it may become apparent that the client is an elder in which case a particular level of respect is appropriate.
