      ab: This article describes a life participation approach to computer instruction for adults with aphasia and their caregivers. In contrast with the application of computer programs as a component of language rehabilitation with specific outcome goals, the approach described here is designed to improve overall communication skills, heighten self-confidence, and re-engage individuals with aphasia in social and community activities. The technology use described includes relevant activities for language stimulation, e-mail correspondence, and productivity projects, all selected by the individuals with aphasia and their caregivers. Each technology offering is described in terms of its use and consideration for future applications.
