31
Q

community aphasia groups

A
  • purpose: treatment and support for people with aphasia that can improve linguistic functioning in a naturalistic setting
  • demographic: patients with aphasia
  • therapy: socializing, sharing ideas, feelings, learn more information
32
Q

life participation approach to aphasia (LPAA)

A
  • purpose: general philosophy and model of consumer-driven service delivery and not a specific clinical approach
  • demographic: focuses on long-term management of aphasia
  • therapy: reengage in life through daily participation in activities of their choice
33
Q

computer-based treatment

A
  • purpose: utilize computer technology to target various language skills
  • demographic: aphasia patients using AAC device
  • therapy: introducing AAC devices
34
Q

constraint-induced language therapy (CILT)

A
  • purpose: intensive treatment approach focused on increasing spoken language output while discouraging (constraining) the use of compensatory communication strategies
35
Q

melodic intonation therapy (MIT)

A
  • purpose: uses the musical elements of speech (melody, rhythm, stress) to improve expressive language
  • demographic: working on intonation
  • therapy: start by intoning (singing) simple words/phrases and increase phrase length; then reliance on intonation is gradually decreased over time
36
Q

augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)

A
  • purpose: involves supplementing or replacing natural communication modalities (natural spoken language) with aided or unaided symbols
  • demographic: supporting nonspeaking communication
37
Q

promoting aphasics’ communication effectiveness (PACE)

A
  • purpose: designed to improve conversational skills
  • demographic: aphasic patients
  • therapy: patient and clinician take turns as the message sender or receiver; picture prompts are concealed from listener, speaker uses their choice of modalities to convey message
38
Q

visual action therapy (VAT)

A
  • purpose: nonspeaking treatment approach that trains individuals to use hand gestures to indicate visually absent items
  • demographic: global aphasia
  • therapy: tracing, matching, producing pantomimed gestures for visible objects, pantomimed for absent objects
39
Q

conversational coaching

A
  • purpose: designed to teach verbal and nonverbal communication strategies to individuals with aphasia and their primary communication partners
  • demographic: aphasic individuals
  • therapy: strategies (drawing, gesturing, cueing) are chosen by the individual and his/her partner, and the SLP is the “coach”
40
Q

supported communication intervention (SCI)

A
  • purpose: approach to aphasia rehabilitation that emphasizes the need for multimodal communication, partner training, and opportunities for social interaction
  • demographic: aphasic patients
41
Q

multiple oral reading (MOR)

A
  • purpose: treatment techniques for individuals with acquired disorders of reading
  • demographic: dyslexia, alexia; best suited for individuals with preserved letter-by-letter reading abilities and relatively good oral reading and comprehension at the single-word level

42
Q

oral reading for language in aphasia (ORLA)

A
  • purpose: treatment for individuals with aphasia that involves repeated practice reading sentences aloud with the clinician in an effort to improve reading comprehension via phonological and semantic reading routes
  • demographic: aphasic patients
  • therapy: using connected discourse (sentences) to practice natural rhythm and intonation
43
Q

supported reading comprehension

A
  • purpose: focus on improving the reading comprehension of individuals with aphasia by incorporating aphasia-friendly text supports

  • demographic: aphasic individuals
  • therapy: giving an opportunity to use premorbid knowledge and vocabulary in reciprocal teaching interactions with a group of “novices”
45
Q

script training

A
  • purpose: functional approach to aphasia treatment that uses script knowledge (understanding, remembering, and recalling event sequences of an activity) to facilitate participation in personally relevant activities
  • demographic: aphasic patients
  • therapy: developing a scripted monologue or dialogue of an activity of interests
46
Q

sentences production program for aphasia (SPPA)

A
  • purpose: prescribed treatment program designed to aid in the production of specific sentence types
  • demographic: aphasic patients
  • therapy: clinician reads a story that includes the target sentences and then asks a question to elicit repetition of that sentence; clinician reads the story without the target sentence and asks a question to elicit that sentence
47
Q

treatment of underlying forms (TUF)

A
  • purpose: linguistic approach to treating sentence-level deficits in persons with agrammatic aphasia
  • demographic: aphasic patients
  • therapy: improve sentence production by training more complex sentence structures first
48
Q

gestural facilitation of naming (GES)

A
  • purpose: uses intact gesture abilities to mediate activation of word retrieval by taking advantage of the interactive nature of language and action
49
Q

response elaboration training (RET)

A
  • purpose: treatment approach designed to help increase verbal elaboration abilities of persons with aphasia
  • demographic: aphasic patients
  • therapy steps in order
    1. show a stimulus to the patient, patient responds saying what it is
    2. if needed the clinician shapes/models that person’s response
    3. the clinician gives a “wh” question to elaborate on the response
    4. reinforce on the elaborated response
    5. patient repeated the clinician’s combined model
    6. elicit a delayed imitation
50
Q

semantic feature analysis treatment

A
  • purpose: word retrieval treatment in which the person with aphasia identifies important semantic features of a target word that is difficult to retrieve
  • demographic: aphasic patients
  • therapy: using semantic network associated with the target word
51
Q

verb network strengthening treatment (VneST)

A
  • purpose: aphasia treatment to promote lexical retrieval in sentence context
  • demographic: aphasic patients
  • therapy: targeting verbs and their roles to activate semantic networks and to improve the production of basic syntactic structures (subject-verb-object)
52
Q

word retrieval cueing strategies

A
  • purpose: provides additional information, such as the beginning sound of a word (phonological cueing) or contextual cues (semantic cueing), to prompt the word
