Aphasia is an acquired ___________ impairment caused by _______ ______
Aphasia is an acquired language
impairment caused by brain damage

Etiology of aphasia
most common= stroke

Also
•Tumor
•Traumatic brain injury

Risk factors for stroke
• Age
• Sex
• Race
• Family history

• Diabetes
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Obesity
• Smoking
• Excessive alcohol consumption
Types of stroke
Ischemic (thrombo-embolic) - most common 84%

Hemorrhagic
Ischemic
blood flow cut off to brain

thrombo-plaque build up forms a clot
embolic- clot forms elsewhere and travels

main treatment- thin blood

*risk- high cholesterol
Hemorrihagic
blood vein burst and blood gets on brain tissues

tend to be more severe, damage more brain
harder to control bc blood can spread

*risk-high blood pressure
Signs of a stroke

Conduction aphasia (fluent)
•Similar to Wernicke’s, but good auditory
comprehension

•Often aware of errors and attempts to self-
correct

•Paraphasias and neologisms common

•Very poor imitation
Anomic Aphasia = mildest

sign/symptom

non-fluent speech and
relatively good auditory comprehension

fluent speech that
sounds similar to Wernicke’s aphasia but with relatively good
auditory comprehension
Evaluation of aphasia
Informal- bedside

Formal- diagnostic battery
Bedside aphasia evaluation
•Case history

• Evaluate:
Expressive language (repetition, naming)
Auditory comprehension
Reading and writing
Other (gesture, facial expression, speech, swallowing, visual disturbances..)

•Determine:
Deficits
Successful strategies
Formal evaluation
•Standardized aphasia batteries:

•Western Aphasia Battery (WAB)

•Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination
(BDAE)
Evaluation and management
schedule
•Natural recovery more rapid first few months
•re-evaluate often
•modify management strategies frequently
•provide education and counseling

•Natural recovery slows
•less frequent evaluation needed
•management strategies more stable
Management of aphasia
•Determine goals by considering
•client’s wants/needs
•caregiver’s wants/needs
•results of evaluation
(capitalize on strengths)

•Examples of management strategies
•Self-cueing for anomia
•Functional communication
Self-cueing for anomia
•Semantic self-cueing

•Phonemic self-cueing
Semantic self-cueing
•Word is related to
•Functions
•Attributes
•Superordinate category
•Members of same category

Semantic map

•Example: “banana”
•You eat it
•It’s yellow, has a skin, grows on a tree
•It’s a kind of fruit
•Oranges and apples are like it
Phonemic self-cueing
•Develop a target word for each letter

Example:
Dog - D - /d/
Mike - M - /m/
Key - K - /k/

•Example
•Client attempts to retrieve “money”
•Knows it starts with an “m”
•Teach client to think “m”, “Mike”, /m/
•Produces /m/
•Self-cues production of “money”
