78.5 Description of Problem and Recommended Treatment
EB presented with characteristics consistent with Brocas apha­sia. She had received prior therapy focused on restoring lan­guage expression abilities; however, little improvement was observed from this intervention. Given her desire to return to social routines, the decision was made to implement AAC sup­ports to compensate for her language deficits. Recognizing the benefits of a multimodal communication approach, an appro­priate high-technology AAC device was identified and EB was also trained on other communication strategies including com­municative drawing and the use of gestures and facial expres­sions to increase communicative eectiveness.
EB trialed three high-technology devices during communica­tion activities in therapy sessions to determine the most eec­tive device to address her communication needs. The clinician observed EB using these devices. After using each device, EB and her husband provided input on their strengths and weak­nesses. This information was taken into consideration, and a final device was ordered for EB. The selected device was a light­weight tablet that EB found easy to carry given her continued issues with hemiparesis. In addition, the device allowed EB to take photos and import them as communication supports.
78.6 Outcome
Upon receiving her AAC device, EB and her husband attended 12 therapy sessions over the course of 6 weeks focused on pro­gramming and functional use of the device. As recommended by the clinician, EB and her husband identified two key times of the day during which they felt that communication was an obstacle and that they had time to devote to incorporating AAC. It was during these specific times that they were instructed to practice using AAC and to document any challenges that arose from those interactions. They then met with the clinician to dis­cuss the documented challenges and to develop appropriate strategies to improve their interactions. After approximately 3 weeks of gradual implementation of the AAC system and receiving feedback from the clinician, EB and her husband began to report increased communication success. Further treatment was provided to increase the time they spent focused on AAC implementation. Recognizing that EB would need con­sistent ongoing support with her AAC system, the clinician also provided EBs husband and adult daughter with training on
programming the device and assisting her with communication breakdowns.
After discharging from therapy, EB began attending individ­ual and group therapy at a local university clinic focused on the use of the camera in device to document her day for future communication interactions and on improved verbal and writ­ten expression abilities. Although retesting using the WAB-R indicated minimal improvement, EB and her husband reported that she had returned to some of her former social routines. She began to attend a weekly lunch with old friends and started to go to church again. EBs children reported that she is more engaged and appears happier than she was before she began outpatient therapy. She particularly enjoys attending group therapy, and although she still gets frustrated with communica­tion challenges, she remained hopeful of continued improve­ment and increased independence.
78.7 Key Points
Although restorative therapy is essential for individuals with aphasia, it is imperative that clinicians also identify eective compensatory communication methods. EBs initial therapy focused solely on improved expression, but she was unable to meet her communication needs. Eective AAC supports should be a focus of treatment early in recovery along with restorative interventions.
It is essential to assess the unique needs of each client with aphasia to design the most eective AAC systems possible. A needs assessment must address communication partners, fre­quent environments, important topics, and hobbies.
People who rely on AAC often benefit from the support of a facilitator for programming and maintenance of AAC systems and for assistance when interacting with less familiar com­munication partners. As such, clinicians should consider iden­tifying a facilitator for clients who rely on AAC.

79 Utilization of Self-Help Activities for an Adult Who Stutters
Mitchell Trichon, Annie Bradberr y, and Shane Wilmoth
79.1 Introduction
Stuttering has often been defined by the overt features that can be heard or seen when speaking. To many people who stutter (PWS), such definitions ignore some aspects that aect quality of life, such as negative thoughts and feelings associated with speech or the decision not to speak to avoid stuttering. Such ne­gative feelings can include helplessness, shame, fear, embarrass­ment, frustration, and loneliness. far-reaching and can impact a persons personality, education, relationships, and career. activities can lessen the negative impact stuttering can have by providing positive experiences, which can be beneficial in improving quality of life. Self-help activities are an underutil­ized resource for many people with communication disorders. However, more PWS are seeking these activities as they are increasingly accessible through self-help organizations (e.g., National Stuttering Association and Friends – The National As­sociation of Young People Who Stutter) and Internet-based options such as Facebook groups and video-conferencing com­munities (e.g., Stutter Social). In addition, evidence now sug­gests that participation in such activities is helpful to PWS.

79.2 Clinical History and Description
DR was a 41-year-old male who stuttered; he self-referred for therapy following an increase in stuttering. He attributed the increase in disfluency to increased stress at work as a result of a job change requiring more verbal communication with teen­agers. DR reported that he had stuttered since age 5 and had a grandfather who reportedly outgrew his stuttering as a child. DR received therapy from elementary school through high school. He reported that, during early elementary school, he and his clinician worked on using a metronome and tapping his

hand to his leg to control his speech rate. He found both to be ineective at improving fluency and attributes them as contri­buting factors to his secondary behaviors. He also reported using filler words to avoid or delay stuttering. In his early 20 s, he attended a university clinic where he learned fluency-shap­ing skills, including easy onsets and pausing/phrasing to improve his fluency. He found that the easy onsets helped him to communicate more easily until he returned home from col­lege when he discontinued regular use of these skills.
79.3 Clinical Testing
The initial evaluation took place at a university clinic. Oral peripheral examination was within normal limits and hearing screening revealed normal responses to pure tone screening at 20 dB at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, 2,000 Hz, and 4,000 Hz in both ears. DR reported increased diculty talking under time pressure, with smaller groups, and on the telephone. He reported that stuttering interfered with work and social relationships, but had little impact on family relationships. DR also reported that he lacked self-confidence, and often felt lonely, anxious, and frustrated. He described positive experiences with previous therapy and was interested in participating in a support group.
The Stuttering Severity Instrument-Fourth Edition (SSI-4) was administered to assess the severity of overt features of stut­tering (i.e., frequency, duration, physical concomitants). DRs overall score was a 42, which corresponded to a very severe fluency disorder, as shown in Table 79.1, based on a reading and speaking task, both with over 300 syllables.
The Overall Assessment of the Speakers Experience of Stut­tering-Adult Version (OASES-A) uate four dierent aspects of DRs perception of observable stuttering behaviors, his reac tions to stuttering, challenges with communication in daily situations, and how stuttering inter­fered with quality of life. The 100-item questionnaire includes questions on a 5-point scale, with 5 meaning the most severe negative impact of stuttering. DRs scores of each section and the total are presented in Table 79.2.

An informal fluency probe was also conducted to determine which fluency-enhancing behaviors were optimal for fluency­focused therapy. DR successfully implemented easy-onset pho­nation 10/10 times (100%) at both word and sentence levels with clinician modeling. DR was also able to use light articula­tory contacts 10/12 times (83%) at both word and sentence lev­els with clinician modeling. DR had diculty with pausing and phrasing during a reading task but successfully implemented reduced speech rate to increase his fluency.
DR was cooperative throughout the assessment. He expressed motivation to gain more control of his stuttering and expressed an interest in revisiting strategies he previously had success with, including easy onsets and light articulatory con­tacts. He was also open to other recommendations.
79.4 Questions and Answers for the Reader
1. Why is it important to assess the clients perceptions and
attitudes about their stuttering and communication, in addi­tion to the severity of the observable features of stuttering? a) Severity of observable features of stuttering are not a good
indicator of how stuttering impacts a clients daily life.
b) Client perceptions and attitudes of their stuttering and
communication may provide valuable information that can guide therapy and help address specific challenging situations.
c) Client perceptions and attitudes help the clinician to
understand how the client experiences their stutter, instead of how others experience the clients stuttering.
d) All of the above.
Answer: d is correct. The observable severity of a persons stut- ter often does not correlate with how stuttering impacts their life. For example, someone who may be good at avoiding stut­tering may be severely impacted by their stuttering. As stated in b, assessing the clients perceptions and attitude about their stuttering can give the clinician valuable information about what to do in therapy. As stated in c, it provides insight into the clients thoughts and feelings about their stuttering and pro­vides a potential way to discuss feelings and attitudes with cli­ents when reviewing the assessment with them.
a, b, and c by themselves are incorrect. They leave out the other correct answers.
2. Which of the following benefits is least likely to occur by par-
ticipating in a self-help activity for PWS (with verbal com­munication)? a) Receive training in the mechanics of particular speech
skills.
b) Learn about othersexperiences of using various speech
skills.
c) Have a supportive forum to potentially practice speech
skills that they learned in therapy.
d) Receive exposure to various views and ideas about stut-
tering and being a person who stutters.
Answer: a is correct. A person who participates in a self-help activity is not likely to receive training in the mechanics of speech skills. This may be a topic of discussion but speech train-
ing is usually discouraged by self-help activity leaders. If speech training is involved in such a forum by a licensed professional, then it should be labeled as a therapy group.
b is incorrect. PWS often discuss their experiences of current or past therapies or speech skills that were used. This is espe­cially true when someone is asking questions about using a par­ticular approach or speech skill.
c is incorrect. Many PWS use verbal self-help activities as a supportive environment in which they can practice or use speech skills or a therapy approach that they have previously learned.
d is incorrect. One of the benefits of participating in self-help activities for PWS is learning about how PWS have dierent attitudes and ideas about stuttering and being a PWS. This often results in giving clients more options related to their stut­tering and related feedback about how others manage challeng­ing situations.
3. A client presents with severe stuttering (observable fea-
tures). The client also reports that he avoids verbal commu­nication because of the shame and embarrassment associ­ated with stuttering. Which of the following statements is least likely to be a possible successful therapy outcome for this client?
a) Reduced number of moments of stuttering (frequency)
inside and outside of the clinic.
b) Reduced amount of physical struggle when stuttering
(duration of moments of stuttering/secondary character-
tering outside of the clinic.
c) Increased everyday conversation initiation with less fear
of speaking, with no or minimal change in observable stuttering severity.
d) Increased fluent speech in the clinic by using speech skills,
but chooses not to use speech skills outside of the clinic because of self-reported unnatural sounding speech.
e) Increased fluent speech in the clinic by using speech
skills, but chooses not to use speech skills outside of the clinic because his new sense of self-acceptance and reduced stigma associated with stuttering.
Answer: d is correct. A client who has learned skills to speak more fluently but chooses not to use these skills due to his/her belief about the social acceptability of the technique (social val­idity) should not be considered as having achieved a successful therapy outcome since the learned speech skills will not result in improved verbal communication or reduction of stigma.
a is incorrect. A reduction of stuttering frequency that can be generalized to everyday communication and should be consid­ered a successful therapy outcome.
b is incorrect. A reduction of the physical struggle, which includes shorter durations of moments of stuttering and reduc­tion of secondary characteristics or physical concomitants of stuttering, should be considered a successful therapy outcome, even without a reduction of frequency of stuttering since it would result in improved verbal communication.
c is incorrect. An increase in everyday conversation initiation by someone who avoided conversation due to embarrassment should be considered a successful therapy outcome since it would result in increased verbal communication with less fear of stigmatization of stuttering.

e is incorrect. A client who has learned speech skills to speak more fluently who chooses not to use speech skills in everyday conversation because he feels more empowered and less stig­matized by his stuttering should be considered as having achieved a successful therapy outcome.
79.5 Description of Problem and Recommended Treatment
DR was a good candidate for therapy and was recommended to work with a speech-language pathologist once per week for 6 months before reevaluation. Since DR was motivated to gain more control of his stuttering and was stimulable for easy-onset and light articulatory contacts, it was important to include working on these skills as a component of treatment. DR also reported that he was fearful of speaking situations and often tried to avoid stuttering, which had negatively impacted aspects of his life.
DR expressed a willingness to meet with other PWS. He was given information about the National Stuttering Association (NSA) and their local chapter(s) and it was recommended that he look into connecting with the local chapter for support.
79.6 Outcome
DR attended therapy and reported that he did not benefit much because he was increasingly focused on becoming fluent instead of improving communication, including reduced strug­gle when stuttering, reduced fear, increased initiation of con­versation, and increased fluency. Despite the original recom­mendation, DR did not pursue a self-help group, but after a year of treatment, DR found a website/organization called Stutter Social. The organization is an Internet-based community of PWS with voluntary hosts who guide supportive discussions through scheduled video conferences. DR became a regular weekly participant and integrated his experiences in the group and the topics they discussed into discussions within his on­campus therapy sessions.
In communicating with other PWS, DR learned about various self-help organizations, including the NSA and their supportive activities. After a year of learning about peoples experiences with the NSA through Stutter Social, DR traveled to and partici­pated in an annual NSA conference and reported it to be life­changing.He att ributed his self-acceptance of stuttering to his experiences of participating in these various self-help activities. During the next half year of treatment, DR became open to the idea of using the strategy voluntary stutteringin his speech as a way to stutter more easily. He had reported some success in using this technique as one of his st rategic options. A year and a half af ter becoming involved with the self-help stuttering community, DR decided to terminate speech therapy services. Although DRs observable stuttering behavior remained severe, he reported a reduction of stigmatization of stuttering, which he attributed to the supportive relationships built through self­help organizations for PWS. DR also reported that he took com-
fort in knowing that he could go back to using his speech skills such as easy onsets and voluntary stuttering if he wished.
DR continued his regular attendance in Stutter Socials sched­uled video-conference meetings. He also became more involved in the NSA by regularly attending regional and annual conferen­ces and taking on leadership roles to help other PWS.
79.7 Key Points
Participation in self-help activities for PWS has the potential to reduce stigma and improve quality of life, empowerment, and self-acceptance. Self-help activities are also a supportive forum to practice therapy techniques and conversational speech outside of the clinic and can assist with maintenance and transfer of therapy techniques to real-life situations.
Depending on the therapy approach, some speech skills may require cognitive or attitudinal changes for the client to begin to use the new speech skill outside of the clinic and be gener­alized to everyday use. For example, empowerment and self­acceptance may be necessary to implement voluntary stutter­ing as a viable speech skill in everyday communication.
Success in stuttering treatment can be defined in various ways, including reduced struggle of stuttering, increased flu­ency, reduced fear of speaking, and increased enjoyment of speaking.
Self-acceptance of stuttering often reduces the negative feel­ings associated with stuttering and can support a drive to manage ones stuttering.

80 Targeting Social Communication Skills for an Adult Client with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Jarrod B. Zinser
80.1 Introduction
Deficits in social communication skills are a hallmark of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) (DSM-5, 2013). This case provides a framework to address social communication deficits in a young adult with ASD.
80.2 Clinical History and Description
TB was a 25-year-old male college student diagnosed with ASD in 2012 at a local behavioral health clinic after being admitted for attempted suicide. He cited a dicult home lifeas well as an inability to establish lasting connections with his peers (specifically females) as catalysts to this attempt. TB initially sought improved understanding of his diagnosis and skills to better interact with others, both socially and professionally. He reported diculties maintaining various jobs, as well as dating. TB reported no previous speech-language treatment; he denied speech, language, or hearing diculties in his family. TB lived at home with both parents, hoping to move out postgraduation. At the time of his initial evaluation, he was a junior at Florida State University, majoring in criminology. He was a member of the universitys marching band and was also a client of Voca­tional Rehabilitation Services.
Table 80.1 Probes for eliciting conversational behavior in adults
Tell me about the type of job you want.” “Where do you see yourself in five years?” “What types of music do you listen to? Why is that your favorite?” “What genres of movies do you like? Tell me about it.”Tell me about your hobbies. How do you spend your down time?” “Are you currently dating? Is that one of your personal goals?” “Tell me about your friends. What do you do together? How often did you see each other?
TB achieved a standard of 90, a low-average score. The Making Inferences subtest of the Social Language Development Test ­Adolescent (SLDT-A; Bowers, Huisingh, LoGiudice, 2010) was also administered informally to assess TBs ability to detect nonverbal and context clues in a picture of a person or people, assume the perspective of a specific person in the picture, infer what the person is thinking, express the persons thought as a relevant, direct quotation, and state the visual clue that suggests what the person is thinking using an Istatement. TB received a score of 0 out of 10 possible points, indicating a weakness in this area. Speech, voice, and fluency were all subjectively judged to be within normal limits.
80.4 Questions and Answers for the Reader
80.3 Clinical Testing
TB was evaluated at a university speech and hearing clinic to assess his pragmatic language skills, formally and informally. TB was compliant throughout testing, completing each task without complaint. He produced minimal to no emotion during formal and informal measures and his eye gaze rarely deviated from the treatment room table.
Both hearing screening and oral mechanism exams were unre­markable. TB then participated in a conversational exchange/ sample. He avoided eye contact upon greeting, lacked a greeting upon arrival, and often responded with brief or limited informa­tion. Because TB produced brief responses, conversational probes were utilized (see Table 80.1). The Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language (CASL; Carrow-Woolfolk, 1999)-Book Three was administered to assess TB’s supralinguistic and pragmatic language skills. He completed the following four subtests: Nonlit­eral Language, Meaning from Context, Ambiguous Sentences, and Pragmatic Judgment. TBs standard score for each subtest fell two standard deviations below the mean (100), indicating below-average performance. Nonverbal intelligence was also assessed to rule out cognitive deficits that impact his ability to interact with others. Using the Test of Nonverbal Intelli­gence, Fourth Edition (TONI-4; Brown, Sherbenou, Johnsen, 2010),
1. Why is assessing narrative skills imperative for those diagnosed with ASD?
a) The ability to understand and produce a narrative
monologue is an important aspect of typical pragmatic
development. b) To obtain a mean length of utterance (MLU). c) To assess literacy skills.
Answer: a is correct. A cohesive narrative is required for eec- tive conversational exchanges.
b is incorrect. Collecting MLU is inappropriate. It is typically
used with children to measure language proficiency.
c is incorrect. Assessing TBs reading and writing skills will not provide information regarding his communicative interac­tions with others.
2. Based on the information reported earlier, what is the best
treatment approach to use with this TB? a) Improve narrative skills. b) Improve discourse management skills. c) Improve communicative intent. d) a and b. e) All of the above.
Answer: d is correct. See explanations in a and b below.

a is partially correct. Testing revealed deficits in narrative production. Much of communication requires being able to tell a story.
b is partially correct. Informal measures revealed weak con­versation skills. Thus, discourse management must be targeted for this client to meet his goals of forming relationships and improved job retention.
c is incorrect. Communicative intent is typically targeted in young children with ASD.
e is incorrect. a and b are the most appropriate skills to tar­get.
3. Why would an observational rating scale be useful in this
type of case? a) It is a norm-referenced method. b) Observational rating scales can be used to evaluate con-
versational or narrative skills.
c) It is a way to measure your own interactions with the cli-
ent.
Answer: b is correct. Observational rating scales can help iden­tify areas of disordered behavior.
a is incorrect. Typically, norms for these instruments are not provided. Their purpose is not to compare to typical development.
c is incorrect. Observational rating scales are typically client­centered.
4. What would be considered a negative prognostic indicator
in TBs case? a) Client motivation. b) Current level of cognitive functioning. c) Severity of disorder.
Answer: c is correct. Autism is defined as an impairment in social communication and interaction.
a is incorrect. TB was highly motivated to improve his com­munication skills.
b is incorrect. TB did not display any cognitive deficits that may contribute to his communication diculties. His nonverbal intelligence score was considered average.
80.5 Description of Problem and Recommended Treatment
TB presented with a severe impairment in pragmatic language skills characterized by deficits in making inferences, under­standing nonliteral language, gathering meaning from context, responding appropriately to various social scenarios, and understanding ambiguous statements. Treatment was recom­mended twice a week for 1-hour sessions. TBs program specifi­cally targeted his ability to produce a cohesive narrative (see
Table 80.2 for suggested scoring r ubric) as well as the social
use of language in conversation, including correctly interpret­ing supralinguistic aspects of communication. Improved job interview skills and the use of appropriate language in the workplace were also recommended. Participation in an adult social skills group was also discussed. Prognosis for improve­ment of these skills was judged to be guarded; however, posi­tive prognostic indicators included TBs willingness to partici­pate in treatment, as well as his motivation to improve these skills.
Table 80.2 Scoring rubrics for narratives
Weak: Narrative consists of descriptions and poorly organized,
uninteresting stories. Adequate: Stories take one of four forms: a) An account of events without a high point or climax. b) A minimal narrative without elaboration. c) A story without a resolution. d) A confusing narrative with some strong descriptive elements. Good: Narratives are captivating stories that contain problems and resolutions, but they may contain organizational weaknesses. Strong: Narratives are easily understood and contain clear, integrated story lines; elaboration; interesting word choices; and some captivating features, such as a climax or plot twist or compelling personal voice.

80.6 Outcome
TB spent a total of four consecutive semesters in treatment. He made progress across goals targeting facial expression identifi­cation and rationale, identifying appropriate interview behav­iors, and improved awareness of nonverbal communication behaviors in multiple partners. However, TB continued to dem­onstrate diculties managing his role throughout conversa­tional exchanges. He was often rated as overly talkative, pro­ducing out-of-sync content, confusing accounts, topic persever­ation, providing insucient background information, inad­equate clarification, and scripted/stereotyped sentences/dis­course. TBs intonation was judged to be unusual and his eye gaze rarely assisted his communicative attempts.
Across the targeted goals, TB displayed weaknesses demon­strating reciprocity in conversational exchanges, generalizing nonliteral concepts, and initiating greetings with familiar and unfamiliar partners. Cueing was often required to assist with goal completion. Repetitions, providing binary choices, and modeling proved to be the most eective.
Throughout treatment, TB required operational definitions regarding friendship (e.g., acquaintance vs. best friend) and dat­ing. The PEERS (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) curriculum was then introduced to assist TB in making and maintaining relationships. He did not readily accept these skills based on previous failed relationships and, thus, cognitive behavior therapy was recommended to identify and address dysfunctional thoughts about interacting with others that may be inhibiting progress. TB had weekly appoint­ments at the university counseling center. Treatment was dis­continued at the request of the client once he obtained a full­time job.
80.7 Key Points
New diagnostic criteria for ASD were provided by the Diag­nostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders-Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
Know the dierence between the diagnostic criteria for autism and social (pragmatic) communication disorder.
For treatment, rating forms must be developed to track and measure progress regarding conversation skills. Landa et al.s pragmatic rating scale is incredibly useful.
