Abstract
Computer-assisted treatments are gaining in popularity yet clinical trials demonstrating efficacy are sparse. This paper describes the methods and outcomes of a project that aimed to facilitate programmatic research among investigators interested in studying MossTalk Words®, an aphasia treatment software program. As a result of this initiative, studies were conducted at several sites, leading to publications on clinically relevant factors (e.g., effectiveness for diverse populations, effectiveness when self-administered; impact of therapy intensity). This is an efficient model for promoting research that could form the basis of a larger clinical trial, a level of evidence critical in establishing treatment efficacy.
