Este estudo tem como objectivo verificar se os cuidadores informais de pessoas com afasia consideram pertinente a sua participação no processo de habilitação/reabilitação do seu familiar, em terapia da fala, tendo em conta o impacto da afasia na sua vida. Foram entrevistados 7 cuidadores. Verificou-se que a sua qualidade de vida diminuiu, que houve alterações nos padrões de comunicação, nos papéis desempenhados e nos seus relacionamentos. É atribuída importância à terapia da fala na melhoria das competências comunicativas dos familiares e na relação entre ambos, considerando a sua participação pertinente, apesar de nem sempre conseguirem acompanhar o familiar às sessões.
