Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A previously reported treatment program for patients with severe apraxia of speech suggested that (1) some communicative ability could be restored, (2) it might be feasible to develop home programs from the original program, (3) the complete eight-step continuum may not be necessary, and (4) some patients had difficulty at step 4 in the program. Protocols from four severely apractic patients supported the contention that some communicative ability could be restored using this program. Effective home programs, based on the original program, were successfully developed. The complete program was not needed for two of the four patients. Finally, a methodology for reducing the difficulty at step 4 in the program was discussed. |
