This study provides an account of the current state in research and practice on how PCC for adults is described, discussed, and evaluated. While related concepts such as family-centred care have mainly been explored within paediatrics, little is known about how PCC manifests in SLT for adults. Our results show that PCC is presently being discussed and valued in SLT although obstacles exist, and few studies explore whether current practice is person centred and the potential effects of such practice. WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WORK?: This study provides clinicians, researchers, and policymakers' guidance on what aspects to consider when working to implement person-centred SLT for adults.
