Multilingualism in Speech-Language Pathology deserves particular attention as the number of plurilingual individuals requiring professional services for aphasia is growing (Goral & Conner, 2013; Ansaldo & Saidi, 2014; Centeno, 2020; Goral & Hejazi, 2021). A survey conducted by Centeno (2015) with 125 Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) in the US showed that there is a need for improvement of both professional training and clinical resources so that SLPs are better equipped to provide clinical services for plurilingual persons with aphasia (PPWA). Based on a survey study in Norway, Norvik et al. (2022) showed that Centeno’s conclusions can be extended to the European context. Our current understanding of worldwide clinical practices adapted for PPWA is limited since to date no comprehensive and international evaluation has been conducted to assess SLPs’ needs and the current state of affairs regarding aphasia assessment and treatment in plurilingual individuals. Given that many SLPs are providing clinical services to PPWA despite the lack of specific training and appropriate clinical tools to assess and treat aphasia in more than one language, the current study aims: to assess the degree of awareness of professional SLPs about multilingualism in their clinical practice; to determine the frequency of their clinical practice with PPWA and their perceptions of readiness for the assessment and treatment of this population; to identify their common clinical practices and perceived challenges when providing clinical services to PPWA. The “Multilingual Aphasia Practices” (MAP) survey is an international and comprehensive survey available in multiple languages spoken across the globe that was designed with the aim of reaching a representative sample of SLPs and providing a comprehensive picture of the current state of affairs in multilingual aphasia management worldwide.
