In recent years, the role of the speech-language therapist/pathologist (SLT/P) has become increasingly established in the assessment, care, and management of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). Throughout the progression of the condition, the role of SLT/P encompasses 5 notable domains: behavioral assessment, impairment-based intervention, compensatory strategy intervention, communication partner training, and informational counseling. The SLT/P brings a unique perspective and clinical arsenal to address the linguistic, functional, and psychosocial effects that PPA can have on a person's life. Ongoing training opportunities are warranted to deliver evidence-based and person-centered SLT/P services to people living with PPA. Therefore, in this commentary, our aim is to clarify the role of SLT/P to advocate for our patients and their options for care.
