abstract: 'Background: Research and clinical evidence suggest that employment after
stroke may be an important aspect of-preserving personal and social
identity; however, few people with significant aphasia manage to return
to work, particularly if their jobs are communicatively and cognitively
demanding.
Aims: This study presents the case of a professor with aphasia, JK, who
resumed teaching through a combination of voice-output technology and
the Key Word Teaching technique. Researchers investigated student
attitudes towards two teaching approaches-one utilising voice-output
technology alone and the other combining voice-output with the Key Word
Teaching technique.
Methods \& Procedures: Ten student participants attended two simulated
class sessions-one utilising voice-output technology alone and the other
combining voice-output with the Key Word Teaching technique.
Investigators analysed attitudinal survey results using nonparametric
analyses. Qualitative approaches were employed to analyse transcripts of
focus group discussions and written teaching evaluations. The
investigators also compared university-based teaching evaluations from
before JK''s stroke to results obtained after the training protocol was
completed. In addition, investigators videotaped and reviewed in-class
teaching examples.
Outcomes \& Results: In the Combined condition, students rated the
professor and the presentation more positively on dependent measures
related to rate, comfort, understandability, and their willingness to
participate. In a ranking task, all students preferred the Combined
teaching approach. The scores on JK''s university-based teaching
evaluations provided by her students the semester after Key Word
Teaching training were similar to evaluations from before her stroke. In
addition, excerpts from JK''s classroom discourse revealed that she was
now combining natural speech and synthesised speech output to enhance
her teaching.
Conclusions: Results suggest that students preferred the Combined
teaching approach utilising both the synthesised speech from the
computer and the Key Word Teaching technique. Also, the training
protocol enabled JK to combine natural speech and synthesised computer
output within the classroom setting in ways that she had been unable to
prior to training. The results demonstrate how a thorough analysis of
JK''s communication needs, accompanied by explicit training in techniques
to overcome barriers to participation, resulted in a successful
vocational outcome that enabled JK to retain an important aspect of her
identity.'
