This special issue of Aphasiology brings together papers from six
countries in three continents on the ways in which computers are
being used in the domain. Information technology is now well
established as a means of delivering treatment to people with
aphasia and this issue includes papers which describe the latest
ways in which this is being carried out. Doesborgh et. al. report
on Multicue, a way in which the capabilities of computers are used
to support cueing approaches to the treatment of naming
difficulties; and Mortley et. al. use the internet as a means of
delivering innovative treatment approaches to the client at home.
It is important that the high tech glamour of the technology does
not obscure the need to critically evaluate the contribution of
this mode of treatment. Two papers, Wallesch &
Johanssen-Horbach, and Wertz & Katz, review and critique the
outcomes and effectiveness of computer mediated therapy. In the
21st century computers are increasingly a part of everyday life and
two papers address ways in which people with aphasia may benefit
from this and engage in the emerging "information society", Van de
Sandt-Koenderman looks at ways in which the technology can be used
to support communication in day to day life by the provision of
appropriate communication aids. Egan et. al. report on training
people with aphasia to access the internet on their own account so
that they may fully engage with this resource as active citizens.
