[Dysphagia] off topic aphasia question



Rob,
         I think you may be referring to an article in a recent Advance that looked at "intense" aphasia tx (ie: every day for several hours over many weeks, vs traditional 3x wk 12 home health/out pt setting) I believe the article said this was more effective, but 
not accepted by reimbursement sources.. ALyce Schoenagel.

Excuse the non-dysphagia question, but...
I remember someone (pretty sure it was Irene) posting an article recently 
about the effectiveness of intense speech-language therapy on aphasia... I 
looked on Medscape/medline but couldn't find the article. Can someone 
forward the reference to me?
Did this make sense?
Thanks
