Voluntary Control of Involuntary Utterances (VCIU)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
people with severe nonfluent aphasia who primarlily produce a few automatic words (and nothing else) are trained to use automatic words as a starting point for producing voluntary, novel utterances
Restorative
Treatment for Aphasic Perseveration (TAP)

Restorative
Script Training?

A person develops, practices and used personally relevant scripts
Restorative

Response Elaboration Training (RET)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Clients are shown pictures and prompted to elaborate on what they see and associate with the image
Restorative
This technique encourages clients to expand their responses.
Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Aims to improve naming abilities, while training clients to self-cue in everyday communication contexts and use an SFA chart as a compensatory tool
Both
SFA uses a chart as a compensatory tool.
Verb Network Strengthening Treatment (VNesT)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Improve verb retrieval
Restorative
VNesT specifically targets the retrieval of verbs.
Phonological Components Analysis (PCA)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Aimed towards improving naming abilities while also training clients to generate phonological cues self-cues and refer to a PCA chart as a compensatory tool.
Both
PCA also uses a chart as a compensatory tool.
What is the focus of Verb as Core (VAC)?
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Verbs as central components of language
Restorative
VAC emphasizes the importance of verbs in communication.
Word Retrieval Cueing Strategies (Cueing Hierarchy Treatment) formalize?
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
A treatment approach that formalized principles of cueing to aid in naming in anomia, cues are provided in a hierarchy based on their ability to elicit correct production of a target word
Cues are provided in a hierarchy based on their effectiveness.
Sentence Production Program for Aphasia (SPPA)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
For clients with agrammatism, which targets enhances sentence production skills
restorative
SPPA targets specific grammatical deficits.
Treatment of Underlying Forms (TUF)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Improving comprehension and development of sentence structure
Restorative
TUF addresses foundational language skills.
Mapping Therapy
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
People with agrammatism that target deficits in thematic role assignment by reorganizing sentence structures
Restorative
This approach is designed for individuals with agrammatism.
Copy and Recall Treatment (CART)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Targets writing skills through single word writing tasks
restorative
CART is designed to improve written expression.
Anagram and Copy Treatment (ACT)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Targets spelling skills by manipulating letters to spell words
restorative
ACT is beneficial for individuals with dyslexia.
The Problem-Solving Approach
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Targets improved spelling through repeated simulation, corrections from clinician, self-monitoring of writing and spelling skills and use of compensatory strategies to improve accuracy
both
This approach employs compensatory strategies for accuracy.
Multiple Oral Rereading (MOR)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Facilitating whole word reading instead of letter by letter reading
restorative
MOR helps improve reading fluency.
Oral Reading for Language in Aphasia (ORLA)
Restorative? compensatory? or both ?
Recovery of reading comprehension through strengthening phonological and semantic networks
restorative
ORLA focuses on enhancing understanding of text.
