Abstract
Research has suggested that individuals with aphasia (IWA) have deficits in attention (Murray et al., 1997a, 1997b) with few treatments available. Mindfulness meditation (MM) has successfully improved attention in neurologically intact (NI) individuals (Rutschman, 2004; Valentine & Sweet, 1999). Therefore, MM was employed in 3 IWA utilizing a single-subject design over a 9 to 13 week period. The effects of relaxation on attention and sense of effort were also examined. Several implications regarding future research are discussed; however, no conclusive evidence on the effects of MM can be offered based on the results of this study at this time.
