Final Outline Flashcards
purpose of language sampling
the goal is to elicit spontaneous language which…
- helps to support standardize assessment
- look for paraphasias, agrammatisms, utterance length, etc.
dynamic assessment
method involving initial testing, skills are addressed in treatment, individual is retested to determine treatment outcome
5 considerations of the WHO criteria
- impairments in body structure and function
- comorbid deficits
- limitations in activity and participation
- environmental and personal factors
- quality of life
what is included in the case history?
- medical history
- mental health history
- education and health literacy level
- work history
- hobbies and personal interests
- cultural and linguistic backgrounds
- typical communication linguistics
- current communication strategies
- perception of functional communication status
- preferences and goals
multimodal assessment
using multiple assessments to diagnose
differential diagnosis
list of possible diagnoses that could be causing the presenting symptoms
what does SMART in smart goals stand for?
S- specific
M- measurable
A- achievable
R- relevant
T- time-bound
what does it mean to be person/family centered in tx approach?
- collaborate approach between individuals, families, and clinicians
- all parties are equally important
- individual and family preferences are priority
restorative strategies
- improving or restoring impaired function
- activities and participation
compensatory strategies
- compensating for deficits that are not able to be retrained
- body functions/structures
primary progressive aphasia
rare and lesser-known neurological condition caused by changes in frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which are largely responsible for language and executive functioning
characteristics of primary progressive aphasia
- talking or singing slower than usual
- having difficulty thinking of words, even the names of familiar objects and people
- leaving words out or mixing up the order of words in sentences
- using a different word than the one they mean (table instead of chair)
- having difficulty understanding what words mean
- struggling to follow a conversation
- making mistakes in spelling that they wouldn’t typically make

community and support and integration treatment
- community aphasia groups
- life participation approach to aphasia (LPAA)

treatment and support for people with aphasia that can improve linguistic functioning in a naturalistic setting

patients with aphasia
community aphasia groups: therapy
socializing, sharing ideas, feelings, learning more information
life participation approach to aphasia (LPAA): purpose
general philosophy and model of consumer-driven service delivery and not a specific clinical approach
