In general, PACE is a good approach when integrating two particular goals of treatment.

• A. Multidisciplinary therapy
• B. Traditional speech therapy
• C. PACE
• D. Constraint-induced language therapy

Answer: (C)

Two goals in treatment are improving language skills and enabling effective everyday communication. PACE does this by making conversation a collaborative exchange where the aim is to convey a message and be understood, not to produce perfectly formed sentences. The clinician and person with aphasia take turns sending messages and may use any modality—speech, gestures, writing—so the focus stays on practical communication. Feedback centers on whether the partner understood the intended message, which reinforces real-world success and helps generalize skills beyond therapy. This approach naturally links language rehabilitation with functional communication in daily life. Other methods tend to emphasize one aspect at a time—either impairment-focused practice or different therapeutic models—without inherently tying language work to practical conversation, so PACE best integrates both treatment goals.
