This study examined outcomes of the Meridian Intensive Aphasia Program (MIAP), a two-week Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Program (ICAP) for adults with chronic aphasia. Eight participants completed standardized assessment across three timepoints: Pre-treatment, post-treatment, and three-month follow-up. While group-level analyses showed no significant change, participant-level data revealed meaningful individual variability. Notably, five of eight participants demonstrated clinically meaningful change in the Scenario Test, indicating improved functional communication. Health-Related Quality of Life also showed positive trends at follow-up, suggesting delayed treatment effects. Language impairment-based measures were more variable, underscoring the limitation of composite scores and single-domain assessments in capturing individual progress. Theses finding align with prior ICAP literature highlighting non-linear aphasia recovery and support the use of multi-timepoint, person-centered, outcome tracking for future ICAP research.
