The "FCTP" provides a structure for clinicians to develop, administer and evaluate aphasia therapy. It aims to: ensure that activities relevant to the client are evaluated and targeted and allows the client to drive the decision-making process; be flexible taking into account pre-morbid personality, activities and abilities; observe the client's performance in considerable detail; and be non-standardised to encourage clinicians to use professional judgement in their evaluation and planning and to encourage them to modify the content to suit specific populations and settings.
