There has been an increasing demand for services for multilingual people with aphasia (MPWA) in clinical practice (e.g., Centeno et al., 2020; Goral & Hejazi, 2021). Recent surveys, nonetheless, have highlighted that professional training for speech and language therapists (SLTs) and the available resources for clinical services for MPWA need improvements (Centeno, 2015; Norvik et al., 2022). Our knowledge on multilingual aphasia practices in different countries is limited. To fill this important knowledge gap, the Multilingual Aphasia Practices (MAP) group, consisting of 18 experts, developed the MAP survey, which aims to explore (i) SLTs’ awareness of multilingualism in their clinical practice, (ii) how prepared they are to assess and treat MPWA, and (iii) common practices and perceived challenges when providing clinical services to MPWA. The survey contains four sections including demographic information, educational background and training, clinical services, and assessment tools, with a total of 31 questions which were extensively discussed following a group consensus approach. The survey was reviewed by an external expert, and selected questions were further revised by 7 MAP experts using the Question Appraisal System QAS-99 (Willis & Lessler, 1999). Originally designed in English, the survey is currently translated into 10 languages for international distribution. Data collection is ongoing, and we target for a sample of 377 SLTs. Here, we present the preliminary results. Outcomes from this survey will demonstrate a comprehensive picture of the main challenges SLTs face regarding multilingual aphasia practices and contribute valuable data on how these practices vary across countries.References Centeno(2015).
