Something old, something borrowed, something new: frameworks to guide cultural adaptations and their documentation in aphasia treatments.

WHAT IT FOUND

No original findings.

This paper presents step-by-step frameworks for culturally adapting aphasia treatments and a documentation tool for recording those adaptations.

What this paper is

This is a narrative review that presents frameworks for culturally and linguistically adapting aphasia treatments. It walks through a five-phase bottom-up adaptation process, a six-domain top-down approach, and the FRAME documentation framework, using published adaptation studies (such as a Danish Communication Partner Training programme adapted across seven countries) as illustrations. It reports no original participants, no intervention delivered by the authors, and no outcomes, so there is no finding here to change your practice on.
