18
Q

Cueing Hierarchy Steps

A
  1. Determine what cues facilitate PT’s word retrieval
  2. Arrange cues in hierarchy (least to most or most to least supportive)
  3. Present pictures/objects
  4. If PT can’t correctly name object, start with first cue @ the top of the hierarchy
  5. If following that cue PT is still wrong, use next cue
  6. Continue w/ cues until PT is able to name the item correctly

Q

Semantic Anomia Treatment

A

Stimulation approach

  • Strengthen semantic representations
  • Increase comprehension & production (naming)
    ex: sorting or matching pics by categories, spoken or written word picture matching, answering Qs about target items, “Semantic Feature Analysis”
  • Use atypical exemplars to generalize
20
Q

Phonological Anomia Treatment

A

Stimulation approach
-Strengthen/facilitate access to phonological representations

Comprehension tasks: spoken word to picture or written word matching

Production tasks: repeating, reading aloud, naming using phonological cues in hierarchy

21
Q

Self Cueing Strategies

What is it, candidates?

A

“Self analysis” to avoid and self-correct errors
-Foster self-generated cues, facilitate removal of intended word

Chronic mild-moderate aphasia with anomia as major symptom

22
Q

Training Semantic Self-Cueing

What, who?

A
  • Facilitate circumlocution to trigger wd retrieval
  • Resolve communication breakdowns by producing semantic info
  • Mild-moderate aphasia (anomic, conduction, Broca’s), need some intelligible utterances
  • Not for AOS

-Train PT to use “Semantic Feature Analysis”

23
Q

Phonemic Self-Cueing

What, who?

A

-Get PT to provide own phonemic cue

Need intelligible expressive language, good auditory comprehension, can write word or initials

“Relay words” to make letter sound association

24
Q

Pure Alexia

A

LBL reading
Impaired access to orthographic lexicon
Word length effect
PCA stroke

25
Q

Surface Alexia/Agraphia

A

Difficulty w/ irregular words
Over-reliance on sublexical phonology
Regularity Effect
PCA stroke

26
Q

Phonological Alexia/Agraphia

A

Difficulty with non-words
Impaired sublexical route
Lexicality effect
MCA stroke

27
Q

Deep Alexia/Agraphia

A

Damage to lexical-semantic & sublexical
Semantic errors
MCA stroke

28
Q

Global Alexia/Agraphia

A

Damage to lexical-semantic & sublexical
Severely impaired spelling words & nonwords
Large MCA stroke

29
Q

Multiple Oral Reading (MOR)

A

Repeated oral reading of text to increase rate/accuracy
Text-based alexia treatment
For: pure, phonological, mixed, deep alexia

30
Q

Oral Reading for Language in Aphasia (ORLA)

A
Repetitive multimodal (reading, pointing & auditory input) stimulation presented to elicit response
For: deep, mixed alexia/aphasia across range of severities (possibly AOS too)
31
Q

Cross-modality Cueing

A

Tactile/kinesthetic tx that bypasses the visual access to the orthographic lexicon “training up” letters to speed up accuracy of reading

For: Pure alexics with POOR letter identification/ naming

32
Q

Writing Treatment: Lexical Approach

A

Retraining spelling of specific words
For: Global, deep agraphia (maybe severe aphasia)
Tx: CART, ACT

33
Q

Copy and Recall Treatment (CART)

A
Lexical spelling treatment:
Present a picture
PT names it
If right, PT writes it
If wrong, they write it 3 times
34
Q

Anagram & Copy Treatment (ACT)

A

Lexical spelling treatment:
They write word
If wrong, present letters & make them spell it
If right copy 3 times
If wrong, clinician arranges letters correctly & they copy 3 times
etc.

35
Q

Writing Treatment: Phonological Approach

A

Retraining sound-letter correspondences using “key words”, CART, & cueing hierarchy
For: Phonological agraphia

36
Q

Interactive Approach

A

Training interactive use of residual lexical and phonological knowledge to improve spelling
*Establish problem-solving procedures: use phonology to sound out, self-detect, check w/ app
For: Surface agraphia

37
Q

Treatment for Aphasic Perseveration (TAP)

A

Bring perseveration to awareness, help PTs suppress it & produce correct responses
For: Mod-severe perseveration during confrontation naming, good auditory comprehension, good memory

38
Q

Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT)

A

3 level hierarchical tx to stimulate prepositional speech skills
-Intone high probability phrases & sentences
For: LH stroke, non-fluent, poor artic, some intelligible utterances while singing, poor repetition, good auditory comprehension, good attention/motivation, can do intensive therapy

39
Q

3 Types of Perseveration

A
  1. Stuck in set - frontal lobe
  2. Continuous - dementia, RHD
  3. Recurrent - aphasia
40
Q

Management of Perseveration

A
TAP
Explain tasks
Establish when using new sets
