Practitioner And Partner Roles
The practitioner controls the profile. The person with aphasia and partner may contribute interview content and conversation behavior through practitioner-led assessment.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Captures
CAPPA organizes reported perceptions, observed interactional behavior, partner strategies, communication opportunities, and current versus prior interaction style where entered.
Relevant Limits
The tool does not invent interview text, create aphasia severity scores, diagnose aphasia, or generate therapy programs.
Does CAPPA require both the person with aphasia and partner to answer interview questions?
No. Partial profiles remain usable when one source is unavailable, but missing sources are visible and should not be treated as both perspectives.
Is CAPPA only a conversation observation tool?
No. CAPPA combines interview/perception information with analysis of a realistic conversation sample.
What is saved from the public demo?
The CAPPA tool and selected reusable configuration are saved. Fictional interview answers, observations, conversation references, and target notes are not saved as real client data.
Does the result provide an intervention program?
No. The result organizes evidence and target-relevant areas for practitioner planning; it does not generate a prescribed intervention program.
