Q

What is the focus of the Life Participation Approach?

How long does it last?

A

Re-engagement in life

Begins with initial assessment and intervention, and continuing, after hospital discharge, until the consumer no longer elects to have communication support.

25
What are the five benefits of the Social Approach to aphasia?
Enhancing communication Increasing participation in events Providing support systems Increasing confidence and positive identity Promoting advocacy
26
What was Language Oriented Treatment designed to address?
A range of language issues among individuals with aphasia.
27
Language Oriented Treatment approach is highly _______ and offers important ______ with regard to treatment replication.
Structured Advantages
28
What are the treatment targets for receptive deficits in Language Oriented Treatment? (3)
Improving discrimination of speech sounds Improving access to word meanings Changing the individual’s communication environment to support auditory comprehension
29
What are the treatment targets for expressive deficits in Language Oriented Treatment? (3)
Semantic processing (e.g., semantic cueing, semantic judgments, categorization and word-to- picture matching) Accessing phonological word forms such as phonemic cueing Cueing spoken output with written letters, repetition and reading aloud
30
How are activities presented in Language Oriented Treatment? Why?
In increasing order of difficulty It facilitate improvement and minimize frustration.
31
How are stimuli presented in Language Oriented Treatment? | 4
In blocks of 10 items 70% achievement on two blocks of items is required to move to the next level of difficulty. When 70% is not achieved, the clinician repeats the block with the patient. The difficulty of specific tasks are decreased to a lower level of difficulty if the patient cannot achieve the 70% criterion
32
Individuals with aphasia often use the _______ that is accessible to them with the least amount of effort. __________ supresses these strategies and emphasizes ______ communication.
Communication channel Constraint Induced Language Therapy Verbal
33
What does Constraint Induced Language Therapy emphasize?
The interaction between patient and clinician in natural communication situations
34
What does Constraint Induced Language Therapy NOT focus on?
Linguistic “code”
35
What sorts of goals are targeted in Constraint Induced Language Therapy? (4)
Topic maintenance Discourse Problem management Discourse roles
36
How are pragmatic treatment goals addressed in Constraint Induced Language Therapy?
In conjunction w/linguistic therapy
37
What are the benefits of Constraint Induced Language Therapy? (3)
Therapy materials are relevant Carry-over is emphasized Strategies are practical
38
What is Computerized Applications in Aphasia Treatment? What do they designed to address?
The use of computers and software to improve communication in individuals with aphasia Multiple language modalities
39
What does Computerized Applications in Aphasia Treatment allow for?
Independent practice
40
Why is Computerized Applications in Aphasia Treatment limited in nature?
The static nature of interaction | Many programs have moved to IOS platforms
41
What are the benefits of Group Therapy for Aphasia? | 7
Initiate various forms of communicative acts Practice communication skills learned in therapy Engage in turn taking Maintain good communication and social pragmatic skills Interact with a variety of communicative partners Learn practical information from others who are more experienced in living with aphasia Receive and offer psychological and emotional support
42
What are six treatment techniques for Aphasia?
Sentence Production Program for Aphasia Melodic Intonation Therapy Voluntary Control of Involuntary Utterances Treating Aphasic Perseveration Visual Action Therapy Script Training

Hierarchical structured program to stimulate speech production Capitalizes on R hemisphere in processing intonational contours of spoken sentences
46
What does Melodic Intonation Therapy begin with? What does it progress to?
Multisyllabic words and short phrases matched w/sequences of tones (tonal sequences lacking musical rhytmn) Longer and more complex sentences which are gradually produced normally
47
Who is a candidate for Melodic Intonation Therapy? | 5
Dominant hemisphere stroke Poorly articulated, nonfluent output, maybe limited to stereotypy Some comprehension skills Poor repetition skills, facilitated by superimposed tones Well motivated w/good attention

What are the five techniques used in Melodic Intonation Therapy?
Clinician Person with Aphasia Hand Tapping Back Up Unison
49
What is Voluntary Control of Involuntary Utterances (VCIU) designed to improve?
Volitional speech production in severely aphasic patients whose speech is limited to stereotypic productions
50
What is the goal of Voluntary Control of Involuntary Utterances (VCIU)?
To take what the patient produce involuntarily and bring it under voluntary control
51
Who is a good candidate for Voluntary Control of Involuntary Utterances (VCIU)? (3)
Severely limited speech w/only a few real words Can match words correctly to pictured objects and actions Some oral reading even if inconsistent
52
Why was Treating Aphasic Perseveration (TAP) developed?
For aphasic patients who have at least moderate degree of perseveration with confrontational naming tasks
53
What is the Premise of Treating Aphasic Perseveration (TAP)?
“Deblocking” language ability by decreasing perseverative behavior
54
Who is a candidate for Treating Aphasic Perseveration (TAP)? | 3
Moderate-severe degree of perseveration in confrontation naming tasks Some comprehension skills Alert and motivated
55
Why was Visual Action Therapy (VAT) designed?
To establish symbolic representation as precursor to communication
56
What is the Visual Action Therapy (VAT)?
A hierarchical approach beginning w/tracing objects, matching objects to pictures, imitating gestures and finally producing gestures to communicate regarding hidden pictures
57
Who is a good candidate for Visual Action Therapy (VAT)? | 5
L hemisphere strokes Severely restricted expression of spoken and written language Severely restricted comprehension of spoken and written language Alert and cooperative Moderate to severe limb apraxia
58
What is Script Training?
Intervention for individuals with aphasia that emphasize the use of dialogues or monologues that are learned verbatim.
59
What is the goal of Script Training?
That the individual with aphasia achieves “islands of automatic speech” that can then be produced fluently in real life situations
60
What is the purpose of Script Training?
To achieve automatic production via repeated practice of large and meaningful units
61
How do individuals with aphasia move through in Script Training?
Script lines using a hierarchy of repetition, choral reading, and independent production
62
Can script training be practiced independently?
Yes
