Conclusions
Even though there is a discouraging shortage of services available for individuals with chronic aphasia and their families, there has been a recent, quite exciting response to this shortage. A growing awareness of the importance of self-determination and advocacy has begun to infuse aphasic people with a new and somewhat differently slanted hope for improved quality of life. This paper has attempted to outline some of the changes and benefits that should influence aphasia treatment in the future.
