Finding common ground: Exploring speech-language pathologists’ experiences of collaboration with Music Therapists in treating aphasia in group settings.

Study Description:
If you are a speech-language pathologist with experience treating aphasia and collaborating with music therapists, researchers at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada would like to invite you to participate in a study on the treatment of aphasia with music therapy. Our study, titled Finding common ground: Exploring speech-language pathologists’ experiences of collaboration with Music Therapists in treating aphasia in group settings, is interested in understanding speech language pathologists' experiences in working with music therapists and incorporating music into the treatment of clients with aphasia. Participant’s identities will be kept private and anonymous. Participation involves a 60 - 90 minute recorded zoom interview to discuss your experiences collaborating with music therapists and incorporating music into your work with people with aphasia, as well as a 30 - 45 minute questionnaire discussing the results of the study. This study has been reviewed by and approved by the Wilfrid Laurier University Research Ethics Board (REB#8410).” This study will be supervised by Dr. Heidi Ahonen.
