Abstract

The goal of “consequences-focused approaches” is to reduce the impact of aphasia on a person's life and they are based on the social model. The aim of the social model of rehabilitation is to remove the barriers for participation and prevent the social isolation people with aphasia often experience. The social model emphasizes the role of the communication partners in achieving success in communication. It is also important to create aphasia-friendly environments. In the present paper the development of social approaches in Finland, as well as a new partner-based approach are presented.
