People with CCD experience communication breakdowns, significantly impacting long\u2010term social, familial, and vocational outcomes. Convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity, a web\u2010based communication partner training intervention, was co\u2010designed with key stakeholders, including people with ABI, their family members, speech pathologists, and other allied health professionals, to address communication breakdowns in everyday interactions. Implementing convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity in student speech pathology clinics may develop student skills and confidence when working with ABI clients, increase access to interventions, improve service delivery, and improve cost efficiency. However, students were not involved in the co\u2010design of convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity, and limited research exists about students\u2019 understanding of CCD or how to treat this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To explore student speech pathologists\u2019 perspectives on their learning of CCD and first impressions of convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity as an overall programme, to understand how to support students using the intervention on future placements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Procedures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ten undergraduate and postgraduate Speech Pathology students from the University of Sydney who were at intermediate or entry\u2010level clinical level participated in semi\u2010structured, in\u2010person qualitative interviews. Interviews focused on three key areas: knowledge and perceptions of CCD, a concurrent think\u2010aloud protocol as students interacted with the convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity programme, and overall feedback on the intervention. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Outcome and Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three themes were identified: (1) Varied learning experiences contribute to different understandings of CCD, ultimately impacting students\u2019 clinical confidence; (2) \u2018The actual program makes sense, I just don't think it really helps me figure out what I would do\u2019; (3) Students need support to not feel \u2018thrown into\u2019 a clinical placement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings highlight the need for greater clinical and academic support for students when implementing a CCD intervention. The implementation of digital health features and the structure of convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity, may effectively support student learning, however adaptations such as therapy demonstration, may further facilitate the use of convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity on placement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>What is already known on this subject<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Cognitive\u2010communication disorder is highly prevalent and typically the primary focus for intervention following an acquired brain injury. Intervention consists of communication partner training to facilitate everyday interactions for individuals with acquired brain injury. Current evidence\u2010based interventions exist, including the new digital health programme convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity, however there is limited research regarding speech pathology students\u2019 perceptions of cognitive\u2010communication disorder and their support needs when applying convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity in a clinical context.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                      <jats:italic>What does this study add to existing knowledge<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Findings from this study demonstrate how different learning experiences through academic units, clinical placements, independent research, or people with lived experience can influence students\u2019 understanding of cognitive\u2010communication disorders and their confidence entering a clinical placement with a client with cognitive\u2010communication disorder. Students described how using a digital health programme, such as convers\u2010ABI\u2010lity, helps facilitate their knowledge and preparation when entering placement; however, further supports through examples and observations are needed.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                      <jats:italic>What are the clinical applications of this work?<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Students commencing clinical placements with clients with cognitive\u2010communication disorder need guidance regarding the nature of cognitive\u2010communication disorder and explicit instruction on how to deliver a communication partner training intervention effectively.
