Australian Aphasia Rehabilitation Pathway: UNDER RENOVATION!!

The Australian Aphasia Rehabilitation Pathway (AARP) is a set of care standards for aphasia management. Designed to address all aspects of aphasia management across the continuum of care, the pathway provides speech pathologists with best practice statements, supporting literature and resources. Eighty-two (82) best practice statements form the basis for the Australian Aphasia Rehabilitation Pathway. Developed by the NHMRC CCRE in Aphasia Rehabilitation, the pathway aims to:

• Improve the overall patient journey for people with aphasia and their family/friends.
• Reduce aphasia rehabilitation evidence-practice gaps through enhancing clinician’s access to best evidence in a dynamic and user-friendly format.
