Esther Goodhew; Robert Mayr; Katie Earing; Abdul Seckam – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: There is a growing body of evidence showing the value of community singing-based rehabilitation on psychosocial well-being and communication for people with post-stroke communication impairment (PSCI). However, there has been little consideration of the potential value an inpatient aphasia-friendly choir may have through the…

Battista, Petronilla; Piccininni, Marco; Montembeault, Maxime; Messina, Annachiara; Minafra, Brigida; Miller, Bruce L.; Henry, Maya L.; Gorno Tempini, Maria Luisa; Grasso, Stephanie M. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background and Objectives: In Italy, approximately 650 individuals receive a diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) every year. Unfortunately, the frequency with which patients are referred to speech-language services is suboptimal, likely due to skepticism regarding the value of speech-language therapy in the context of neurodegeneration.…

Quique, Yina M.; Evans, William S.; Ortega-Llebaría, Marta; Zipse, Lauryn; Walsh Dickey, Michael – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Script training is a well-established treatment for aphasia, but its evidence comes almost exclusively from monolingual English speakers with aphasia. Furthermore, its active ingredients and profiles of people with aphasia (PWA) that respond to this treatment remain understudied. This study aimed to adapt a scripted-sentence learning…

Being able to read makes a significant difference to how well a person can participate in society. In this study, people with aphasia recount their experiences of being in a book club. Aims: This small scale, exploratory study employs a…

Background: A large number of people who experience a stroke are affected by dysarthria. This may be in isolation or in association with aphasia and/or dysphagia. Despite evidence highlighting the psychological and social impact of having post-stroke dysarthria and a number of clinical guidelines that make recommendations for appropriate…

Isaksen, Jytte Kjaergaard – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2014
Background: Measuring or evaluating outcomes is a common activity for many speech-language therapists (SLTs). A major focus has been on external forces claiming outcome evaluation to optimize quality and the use of resources without integrating the viewpoints of SLTs. Aims: To identify the purpose of outcome evaluation by letting SLTs identify not…

Colon De Carvajal, Isabel; Teston-Bonnard, Sandra – Novitas-ROYAL (Research on Youth and Language), 2015
Resolving the inability to produce a word through a gestural realization is often a compensatory strategy used with aphasic patients. However, context and interpersonal knowledge between participants are also essential factors for finding or guessing the right word or the right gesture. In the "Interactions between Aphasic people &…

Method: The informativeness of gesture was assessed in 3…

Kopkalli-Yavuz, Handan; Mavis, Ilknur; Akyildiz, Didem – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2011
Studies investigating voicing onset time (VOT) production by speakers with aphasia have shown that nonfluent aphasics show a deficit in the articulatory programming of speech sounds based on the range of VOT values produced by aphasic individuals. If the VOT value lies between the normal range of VOT for the voiced and voiceless categories, then…

Cano, Agnes; Hernandez, Mireia; Ivanova, Iva; Juncadella, Montserrat; Gascon-Bayarri, Jordi; Rene, Ramon; Costa, Albert – Brain and Language, 2010
We report the naming performance of a Spanish patient (AQF) suffering from Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). AQF's performance revealed a grammatical category-specific deficit, with poorer performance in verb than in noun naming. Furthermore, this dissociation was only present in written naming. Importantly, the patient's dissociation between…

Green, David W.; Ruffle, Louise; Grogan, Alice; Ali, Nilufa; Ramsden, Sue; Schofield, Tom; Leff, Alex P.; Crinion, Jenny; Price, Cathy J. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2011
We illustrate the value of the Bilingual Aphasia Test in the diagnostic assessment of a trilingual speaker post-stroke living in England for whom English was a non-native language. The Comprehensive Aphasia Test is routinely used to assess patients in English, but only in combination with the Bilingual Aphasia Test is it possible and practical to…

Koukoulioti, Vasiliki – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2010
This study aims at investigating the production of the Greek modal and negative particles by non-fluent aphasic patients. These particles belong to the highest part of the verb periphrasis, so they are likely to be impaired in non-fluent aphasia, according to some hypotheses about agrammatic language. Moreover, there is an agreement relation…
