Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Programs (ICAPs) have been found to be effective for treating individuals with aphasia. ICAPs vary in different administrative areas (e.g., intensity, caregiver education, etc.) leading to a need to explore the efficacy of the model components. The purpose of this research is to investigate gaps that exist in current ICAP literature according to ICAP leadership. Current gaps in ICAP research were identified through the collection of semistructured interviews completed with eight ICAP professionals. The constant comparative analysis method was used to determine themes and subthemes. Findings included two main themes with subthemes. The first main theme was program access with subthemes of participant and cohort characteristics, scalability, telehealth, and stakeholders. The second main theme was structure and process with subthemes of intensity and duration, outcome measures, defining ICAP components and participant customization, delivery model applications, and sustainability. These main themes and subthemes are then defined and discussed.
