1 Introduction Selecting appropriate outcome measures is a persistent challenge in clinical and research settings, particularly when assessing latent, multidimensional constructs such as communication (Kimberlin and Winterstein 2008; Prinsen et al. 2018). This challenge is amplified when measures are applied to populations for whom they were not originally developed, such as individuals with intellectual disabilities (Nicolaidis et al. 2020; Ellis et al. 2023).
Objective To determine the efficacy of Group Interactive Structured Treatment (standard GIST) for improving social communication difficulties (SCDs) in a wider acquired brain injury (ABI) population compared to a waitlist control (WL). Secondary objectives: a) explore GIST across delivery formats by comparing the results to an intensive inpatient version of GIST (intensive GIST); b) compare the within-subject results for WL and intensive GIST.
Abstract Background Multiple factors can influence the working alliance and treatment outcome in speech and language therapy. The ‘working alliance’ is an important concept in treatment and can be described as the degree to which a treatment dyad is engaged in collaborative, purposive work. To date, relatively little attention has been paid to this concept within speech and language treatment in general, and within stuttering treatment research in particular.
