Deployment of professional expertise during a period of disruption: A phenomenological study of rehabilitation clinicians.

Rationale: Practice context is known to influence the deployment of competencies. The COVID-19 pandemic created a major disruption in many practice contexts. The objective was to understand the lived experience of rehabilitation clinicians during a major disruption of their practice context, namely, the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speech-language therapists' process of including significant others in aphasia rehabilitation.

Background: Although aphasia rehabilitation should include significant others, it is currently unknown how this recommendation is adopted in speech-language therapy practice. Speech-language therapists' (SLTs) experience of including significant others in aphasia rehabilitation is also understudied, yet a better understanding of clinical reality would be necessary to facilitate implementation of best evidence pertaining to family interventions.

Aims: To explore the process through which SLTs work with significant others of people with aphasia in rehabilitation settings.
