Conclusions: There are some similarities in terms of SLP
practices and challenges faced by the participants in comparison with
other studies conducted in diverse contexts. Issues related to cultural
and linguistic diversity complicates the development of appropriate
resources for aphasia evaluation. Consideration of those issues in
development of original and adapted evaluation tools may improve the
accuracy of diagnosis, identification of severity, and planning of
intervention.
