Q

Constraint-Induced Language Therapy (CILT/CIAT)

A

Based on CIMT principles, it’s a “small group therapy”.. using therapeutic language games restricting responses to only spoken language

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

Study These Flashcards
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

Study These Flashcards
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?

Study These Flashcards
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?

Study These Flashcards
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?

Study These Flashcards
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

Study These Flashcards
A

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

25
Surface Alexia/Agraphia
Difficulty w/ irregular words Over-reliance on sublexical phonology Regularity Effect PCA stroke
26
Phonological Alexia/Agraphia
Difficulty with non-words Impaired sublexical route Lexicality effect MCA stroke
27
Deep Alexia/Agraphia
Damage to lexical-semantic & sublexical Semantic errors MCA stroke
28
Global Alexia/Agraphia
Damage to lexical-semantic & sublexical Severely impaired spelling words & nonwords Large MCA stroke
29
Multiple Oral Reading (MOR)
Repeated oral reading of text to increase rate/accuracy Text-based alexia treatment For: pure, phonological, mixed, deep alexia
30
Oral Reading for Language in Aphasia (ORLA)
``` Repetitive multimodal (reading, pointing & auditory input) stimulation presented to elicit response For: deep, mixed alexia/aphasia across range of severities (possibly AOS too) ```
31
Cross-modality Cueing
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
Writing Treatment: Lexical Approach
Retraining spelling of specific words For: Global, deep agraphia (maybe severe aphasia) Tx: CART, ACT
33
Copy and Recall Treatment (CART)
``` Lexical spelling treatment: Present a picture PT names it If right, PT writes it If wrong, they write it 3 times ```
34
Anagram & Copy Treatment (ACT)
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
Writing Treatment: Phonological Approach
Retraining sound-letter correspondences using "key words", CART, & cueing hierarchy For: Phonological agraphia
36
Interactive Approach
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
Treatment for Aphasic Perseveration (TAP)
Bring perseveration to awareness, help PTs suppress it & produce correct responses For: Mod-severe perseveration during confrontation naming, good auditory comprehension, good memory
38
Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT)
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
3 Types of Perseveration
1. Stuck in set - frontal lobe 2. Continuous - dementia, RHD 3. Recurrent - aphasia
40
Management of Perseveration
``` TAP Explain tasks Establish when using new sets Use visual cues Avoid quick stimulus presentation ```
41
LPAA Core Values
1. *Enhance life participation 2. All affected get services 3. Documented life-enhancement changes 4. Personal/environmental factors considered 5. Emphasis on available services at all stages
42
Health Related Quality of Life (HQoL)
Impact that health status has on a person's ability to lead a fulfilling life - Functional communication ability/linguistic ability - Emotional state/psychological well-being - Social support - Social participation
43
Parameters that Define Cultures
``` Individualism vs. Collectivism View of work Space & time Language (formal/informal, pragmatics, non-verbals) Roles Rituals/superstitions Class & Status Values ```
44
Factors affecting Aphasic Impairments in Bilingual/Multilinguals
Sociocultural history Acquisition & communicative experiences Cognitive stratgies
45
Types of Bilingual Aphasia Recovery
``` Parallel recovery (most) Non-parallel recovery (differential, blended, selective) ```
46
Aphasia Framework for Outcome Measurement (A-FROM)
``` Considers: WHO-ICF (QoL) + Language impairments Participation Personal Factors Communication envt Goal: Living successfully w/ aphasia! ```
