What It Profiles
MPC profiles participation by the person with aphasia in an observed conversation, not the communication partner's skill.
Measure of Participation in Conversation (MPC)
The Measure of Participation in Conversation is a practitioner-only observational tool for evaluating how fully a person with aphasia participates in conversation with a communication partner. It helps practitioners create a standardized participation profile for support planning and comparison over time or across partner-support conditions.

Comparison Use
Comparable administrations can be reviewed over time or across partner-support conditions when the same scoring structure is used.
Important Limits
The tool must not invent MPC items, anchors, scoring calculations, thresholds, or clinical interpretations.
Is MPC the same as MSC?
No. MPC profiles the person with aphasia's participation; MSC profiles the communication partner's support skill.
Can the person with aphasia complete the MPC?
No. The supplied MPC product experience is practitioner-only observational scoring.
Can notes alone create an MPC profile?
No. Notes without official ratings do not constitute a standardized MPC profile.
