“…The MIC is based on Togher, Power, Tate, McDonald, and Rietdijk (2010) revised version of the Measure of Skill in Supported Conversation (Kagan et al, 2004). On this scale, David showed an improvement in his ability to support conversation after the intervention as measured in terms of the percentage of nonoverlapping data statistics (see Saldert et al, 2013 for further details of scoring procedures and results). This improvement was still present at the follow-up stage 12 weeks after the intervention and was also reflected in both participants' reported perceptions of their communication as elicited by adapted versions of the Communication Outcome After Stroke (COAST) questionnaires (Long, Hesketh, & Bowen, 2009;Long, Hesketh, Paszek, Booth, & Bowen, 2008).…”
