Study Summary

The proposed study is a Stage I successive cohort trial intended to adapt Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to meet the specific needs of stroke survivors with aphasia ("ACT for Aphasia"). It will do so by incorporating communication supports and compensatory speech-language treatment. The goal of developing this integrated treatment is to improve successful communication participation, psychosocial adjustment, and quality of life for stroke survivors with aphasia. In the first phase of the project, the investigators will create a treatment manual with input from a stakeholder advisory board consisting of caregivers and stroke survivors with aphasia. The investigators will then recruit an initial cohort of five stroke survivors with aphasia to undergo the initial version of the treatment based and provide feedback. This will aid revision of the manual, which the investigators will then evaluate using a second cohort of 16 stroke survivors with aphasia. The investigators predict that ACT for Aphasia will be acceptable and feasible based on measures of participant satisfaction and treatment adherence. The investigators will also measure pre- to post-treatment changes in psychological distress, functional disability, quality of life, and communication participation and functioning to establish preliminary effect size estimates for this intervention, in preparation for a subsequent Stage II efficacy trial.

Primary Outcome

The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire - 8 (CSQ-8) is a brief questionnaire demonstrated to provide "efficient, sensitive, and reasonably comprehensive" measures of patient satisfaction. It has 8 questions rated on a 4-point scale (summed scores range from 8 to 32). High scores indicate high satisfaction and low scores indicate low satisfaction. The CSQ-8 is the primary measure which will determine acceptability of the proposed pilot intervention.
