loss of perception of objects purpose. I.e.: using a comb in the mouth
bilateral motor Apraxia
can’t carry out planned mvmts
anosognosia
deficit of self awareness-not aware of one’s disability
contralateral conjugate gaze
motion of both eyes in the same direction at the same time
Homonymous Hemianopsia
field loss on the same side of BOTH eyes where the visual field loss is on the left or right side of the vertical midline
anomia

double vision
simultanognosia
can only perceive ONE object at a time
Lack of auditory comprehension; alexia; oral expression; agraphia; ability to interpret gestures; acalculia
aphasia
Loss of all language skills; oral expression except for utterances; may appear to understand more than capable because they are sensitive to gestures; vocal inflections; facial expressions
GLOBAL APHASIA
Speech Apraxia; agrammatism (telegraphic); good auditory comprehension except when speech is rapid; lengthy; complex. Reading comprehension maybe severely impacted. Probs writing; acalculia; deficits in monetary concepts
BROCA’S APHASIA
Impaired auditory comprehension and feedback; paraphasic speech with work substitution errors; meaningless word sequence; neologisms (non-English nonsense words) interspersed with real words; limited reading and writing comprehension; impaired math skills
WERNICKE’S APHASIA
Probs with word retrieval; mild to severe probs w reading comprehension and written expression; mild deficits in math skills
ANOMIC APHASIA
Articulation disorder; paralysis and incoordination of the organs of speech; speech sounds are slurred; thick; sluggish. NOT APHASIA
Dysarthria
Precautions and Contraindications
