While there is a considerable evidence base to support SLT cognitive\u2013communication interventions, there are also numerous barriers to its implementation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>The first aim is to describe the development of a comprehensive knowledge translation tool that synthesizes evidence\u2010based practice recommendations for SLT cognitive\u2013communication interventions across the care continuum. The second aim is to critically analyse the barriers to implementation of these interventions and to explore how this knowledge translation tool might assist in overcoming these challenges.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods &amp; Procedures<\/jats:title><jats:p>We developed a map of 148 clinical practice recommendations extracted from 129 reviews and guidelines called the Cognitive\u2013Communication Evidence Application for SLTs (CCEAS\u2010Map). The process of developing the CCEAS\u2010Map included: (1) examination of implementation science frameworks to inform knowledge tool creation; (2) search and synthesis of the evidence provided in reviews and guidelines that met specific criteria; (3) development of a framework to critically analyse and categorize the barriers and facilitators affecting the implementation of these clinical recommendations; (4) consultation with potential end users of the CCEAS\u2010Map, including 16 expert SLTs and eight persons with lived experience (PWLE), regarding the tool's construction, barriers and facilitators to implementation, and the potential of the CCEAS\u2010Map to address evidence\u2013practice gaps; and (5) refining the CCEAS\u2010Map based on expert input.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Main Contribution<\/jats:title><jats:p>To our knowledge this is the first synthesis of all available clinical recommendations for SLT cognitive\u2013communication interventions for ABI, across all severities of injury, stages along the continuum of care, and areas of CCD practice. The paper presents a novel approach to analysing knowledge\u2013practice gaps: drawing on implementation science tools, analysing barriers and facilitators, and collaborating with end users in designing a knowledge translation tool.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions &amp; Implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The CCEAS\u2010Map provides a comprehensive synthesis of the available evidence in a format that can facilitate clinical application of the evidence, provide education for all stakeholders, serve as a basis for CCD pathway development, support researcher\u2013clinician collaboration and encourage advocacy at the system level. As a knowledge translation tool, the CCEAS\u2010Map can promote the availability of SLT services and has the potential to ultimately improve the lives of those with CCD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>What this paper Adds<\/jats:title><jats:sec><jats:title>What is already known on this subject<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:list list-type=\"bullet\"><jats:list-item><jats:p>A great deal is known about cognitive\u2013communication deficits incurred after ABI, including their impact on daily functioning, optimal methods for sensitive and ecologically valid assessment, and the efficacy of various speech\u2013language therapy interventions along the care continuum. However, considerable constraints remain that interfere with the application of this evidence to daily SLT practice. A need was identified to develop a knowledge translation tool to help close these evidence\u2013practice gaps.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item><\/jats:list><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>What this paper adds to existing knowledge<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:list list-type=\"bullet\"><jats:list-item><jats:p>This study describes the development of the CCEAS\u2010Map, a critical synthesis of 129 reviews and guidelines, leading to 148 evidence\u2010based clinical recommendations, which can be used to guide SLT cognitive\u2013communication practice and education, as well as clinical pathway development, and advocacy for systemic changes and other healthcare policy improvements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item><\/jats:list><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work?<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:list list-type=\"bullet\"><jats:list-item><jats:p>The CCEAS\u2010Map is a clinical knowledge translation tool designed to guide cognitive\u2013communication interventions by linking practice recommendations directly to the current evidence.
