My coauthors (@lindaleembr @millsomoo @NaomiMi81705850 and Jasmin Treloar) said there was lots of interest today in the FREE language sample analysis system developed by Owens and Pavelko with clinical utility in mind. Here’s the link #NZSPAconf attendees: https://t.co/ibzUwg2MgJ

#NZSPAConf #SLPeeps @MarianBrady We have to see ourselves as ambassadors – it’s our role to promote understanding of the complexity of SLP – it has significant impacts on things like guideline development

[Felicity Bright @flissbright]

Also tailoring to the broader patient and environmental contexts. So many layers of complexity. Marian highlights these are often not visible to others we work with - complexities of our work not well understood #NZSpaConf

[Linda @lindaleembr]

On to day 3, starting with a keynote from Marian Brady: Communicating as simply as possible, but not too simply #NZSpaConf

[Linda @lindaleembr]

And with Rebecca Armstrong's practical guide to classroom acoustics, I'm super excited to go back to my school setting and start some investigating! 🧐 #NZSPAConf

[Linda @lindaleembr]

So many great insights from today's school-aged sessions - such a strong message about the need for collaboration #NZSPAConf

David Copland. If going to provide 100h of therapy, need to engage the brain’s intrinsic motivation and reward systems – ie make it more fun. @SpeechPathAus #NZSPAconf #slpeeps

[Felicity Bright @flissbright]

BUT if we’re doing lots of therapy - it needs to be engaging! What matters to clients? What is engaging? Link to what is meaningful (yes! ID higher order values and priorities and link to lower order goals and task). We don’t want patients saying this: #NZSPAConf

[Cori Williams @Cori_SPA]

David Copland. Dose - ethical challenge. Therapeutic levels to some or subtherapeutic levels to all. Need to test impact of high dose interventions on outcomes. Find new ways to deliver high dose treatment, advocate for these @SpeechPathAus #NZSPAConf

[Linda @lindaleembr]

Copland: Need to find new ways to deliver high-dose treatment, a basic right not a luxury #NZSPAConf

[Simone Howells PhD @simone_howells]

Copland: a very small amount of anything does bugger all. In other words, doing small amounts of therapy in aphasia won’t do anything beneficial for client. Intensity & dosage important! #NZSPAConf

[Lizz Hill @LizzHillSP]

David Copland - Strength of relationship between areas of RH during language tasks negatively associated with improvement post #aphasia tx. Suggests we need to drive left hemisphere recovery. #NZSPAConf

[Linda @lindaleembr]

And different treatments may rely on different brain mechanisms #NZSPAConf

[Linda @lindaleembr]

Professor David Copland: Brain mechanisms of aphasia recovery are dynamic, so important to track over time #NZSPAConf
