Robert Cavanaugh; Michael Walsh Dickey; William D. Hula; Davida Fromm; Jennifer Golovin; Julie Wambaugh; Gerasimos Fergadiotis; William S. Evans – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Individuals with aphasia identify discourse-level communication (i.e., language in use) as a high priority for treatment. The central premise of most aphasia treatments is that restoring language at the phoneme, word, and/or sentence level will generalize to discourse. However, treatment-related changes in discourse-level communication…

Tierney-Hendricks, Carla; Miller, Jennifer; Lopez, Ruth Palan; Conger, Sarah; Vallila-Rohter, Sofia – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Engagement is recognized as an important factor in aphasia treatment response and outcomes, yet gaps remain in our understanding of engagement and practices that promote engagement from the client perspective. Aims: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how clients with aphasia experience engagement during their…

Swiderski, Alexander M.; Quique, Yina M.; Dickey, Michael Walsh; Hula, William D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This meta-analysis synthesizes published studies using "treatment of underlying forms" (TUF) for sentence-level deficits in people with aphasia (PWA). The study aims were to examine group-level evidence for TUF efficacy, to characterize the effects of treatment-related variables (sentence structural family and complexity;…

Scholl, Dominique I.; McCabe, Patricia; Nickels, Lyndsey; Ballard, Kirrie J. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: To date, studies have not explored whether a dual diagnosis of aphasia plus apraxia of speech (AOS) versus aphasia alone (APH) affects the response to language-based naming treatments. Aims: To compare the effects of semantic feature analysis (SFA) treatment for individuals with APH versus aphasia plus AOS, and to test if the presence…

Caute, Anna; Dipper, Lucy; Roper, Abi – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: People with aphasia rely on gesture more than healthy controls to get their message across, but use a limited range of gesture types. Gesture therapy is thus a potential avenue of intervention for people with aphasia. However, currently no gesture assessment evaluates how they use gesture. Such a tool could inform therapy targets and…

Middleton, Erica L.; Schuchard, Julia; Rawson, Katherine A. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
It is uncontroversial in psychological research that different schedules of practice, which govern the distribution of practice over time, can promote radically different outcomes in terms of gains in performance and durability of learning. In contrast, in speech-language treatment research, there is a critical need for well-controlled studies…

Kendall, Diane L.; Moldestad, Megan Oelke; Allen, Wesley; Torrence, Janaki; Nadeau, Stephen E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The ultimate goal of anomia treatment should be to achieve gains in exemplars trained in the therapy session, as well as generalization to untrained exemplars and contexts. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of phonomotor treatment, a treatment focusing on enhancement of phonological sequence knowledge, against semantic…

Bose, Arpita; Höbler, Fiona; Saddy, Douglas – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2019
Background: Severe word production difficulties remain one of the most challenging clinical symptoms to treat in individuals with jargon aphasia. Clinically, it is important to determine why some individuals with jargon aphasia improve following therapy when others do not. We report a therapy study with AM, an individual with severe neologistic…

Bacon, Katharine; Marshall, Jane; Caute, Anna; Monnelly, Katie; Cruice, Madeline; Moutou, Corinne; Woolf, Celia – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Treatment fidelity (TF), that is, the degree to which the treatment delivery has adhered to protocol, is an important aspect of establishing treatment validity and reliability. Research has shown that establishing TF is only done in a small percentage of aphasia treatment studies. Aims: This project supports the work of the CommuniCATE…

Cadório, Inês; Lousada, Marisa; Martins, Paula; Figueiredo, Daniela – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2017
Background: Cognitive-linguistic treatments and interventions targeting communication have been developed within the context of primary progressive aphasia (PPA), however knowledge about the scope of generalization and maintenance of therapy gains considering PPA subtypes remains scarce and awaits systematic investigation. Aims: To analyse the…

Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Reorganization of language networks in aphasia takes advantage of the facts that (a) the brain is an organ of plasticity, with neuronal changes occurring throughout the life span, including following brain damage; (b) plasticity is highly experience dependent; and (c) as with any learning system, language reorganization involves a synergistic…

Yao, Liqun; Zhao, Hongjia; Shen, Cuiling; Liu, Fang; Qiu, Li; Fu, Lisang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS) in patients with poststroke aphasia. Method: We comprehensively searched for eligible studies from 11 electronic medical databases from their inception to February 20, 2019. Randomized controlled…

Marshall, Jane; Caute, Anna; Chadd, Katie; Cruice, Madeline; Monnelly, Katie; Wilson, Stephanie; Woolf, Celia – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2019
Background: Acquired writing impairment, or dysgraphia, is common in aphasia. It affects both handwriting and typing, and may recover less well than other aphasic symptoms. Dysgraphia is an increasing priority for intervention, particularly for those wishing to participate in online written communication. Effective dysgraphia treatment studies…

Vuksanovic, Jasmina; Milovanovic, Tanja; Konstantinovic, Ljubica; Filipovic, Saša R. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2018
Background: Constraint-induced (language) aphasia therapy (CIAT), based on constraint usage of the language channel only, massed practice and shaping through therapeutic language games, has been suggested as a more efficient therapy approach than traditional aphasia therapies. Aims: To examine the comparative efficacy of CIAT and a traditional…

Hilari, Katerina; Galante, Lara; Huck, Anneline; Pritchard, Madeleine; Allen, Lucy; Dipper, Lucy – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2018
Background: This study explores the psychometric properties of The Scenario Test UK, a culturally adapted version of the Dutch original (The Scenario Test) developed by van der Meulen "et al." in 2010, which evaluates functional, daily-life communication in aphasia. The Scenario Test assesses communication in an interactive context with…
