“…Previous studies have found home programmes to be a feasible approach for aphasia therapy (e.g., Adrian, Gonzalez, & Buiza, 2003;Pedersen, Vinter, & Olsen, 2001;Ramsberger & Marie, 2007). Given the differing home environments of people with aphasia, it may be important that the therapy programme can be carried out autonomously without the involvement of a family member, friend, or carer.…”

Treatment of word retrieval impairments in aphasia: Evaluation of a self-administered home programme using personally chosen words

et al. 2010

Background: While previous research has shown that a number of tasks can be successful in improving word retrieval following aphasia, the majority of studies result in improvement restricted to treated items. This has two major implications: first it is essential that personally relevant items of communicative value are treated. Second, treatment is likely to be required long term. Therapy provided as a self-administered home programme has the potential to improve the long-term accessibility of therapy and to be more cost effective. This research was part of a larger investigation into treatment for lexical retrieval difficulties in adults with aphasia. Our earlier research found that treatment using repetition in the presence of a picture conducted by a clinician was effective in improving the later retrieval of treated words. In this study we modified the treatment programme such that it could be carried out independently by the participants as a home programme using personally chosen words. Aims: The aims of our study were first, to determine if a home treatment programme for word retrieval with personally chosen words could result in significant improvements in lexical retrieval, and second, to observe if there would be carry over to improved word retrieval in conversation. Methods & Procedures:Three people with aphasia participated, and selected 60 personally relevant words for treatment. These stimuli were treated in two sets, each for eight sessions over 2 weeks. Outcomes of treatment were evaluated by comparing naming of these items on three pre-treatment baselines, with naming following the completion of the programme. Semi-structured conversations based around topics relating to the target words were sampled prior to treatment and following treatment to observe generalisation to conversation. Outcomes & Results: Two participants showed evidence of increased accuracy for naming of treated items following the home programme with no change in naming of unseen

“…There have been several investigations of use of computers in speech and language therapy/pathology (SLP) with adults with aphasia (Adrian, Gonzalez, & Buiza, 2003;Aftonomos, Steele, & Wertz, 1997;Fink, Brecher, Schwartz, & Robey, 2002;Katz & Wertz, 1992, 1997Linebarger, Schwartz, & Kohn, 2001;Loverso, Prescott, & Selinger, 1992, Mortley, Wade, Davies, & Enderby, 2003 and with language impaired children O'Connor & Schery, 1986;Schery & O'Connor, 1992;Tallal et al, 1996). The programs vary in how far they were intended to be used independently of an SLP and in whether or not they are effective when compared to tabletop interventions with populations of language impaired children (Cohen et al, 2005;Gillam, Crofford, Gale, & Hoffman, 2001;Hook, Macaruso & Jones, 2001;Troia & Whitney, 2003).…”

This paper reports on the development and evaluation of a software program aimed at assisting children with phonological impairment. An experimental approach was used whereby children's speech output was assessed pre-and post-therapy. Children were randomly assigned to a computer, a tabletop or a no therapy group. Those children receiving the computer therapy were exposed to an experimental software program that mirrored the tabletop activities using interactive computer games. The results showed no significant difference between any of the three groups with regard to change in speech output. These results may relate to the amount and frequency of therapy given and also to the heterogeneous nature of children included in the study. There was considerable variation in individual performance across all three groups and the data were therefore analysed to look for patterns that might predict performance. Stimulability and gender were identified as possible predictors. Female children and those who were able to produce a greater number of consonant speech sounds in isolation were more likely to make progress in their speech output. Future research might use a similar methodology to compare the therapy conditions but with a more homogenous group in terms of stimulability and using a greater intensity of intervention.

“…In order to solve this problem, some investigators have been proposed the computer assisted treatment for patients at home to simulate the speech therapy [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. This method not only can increase the treatment frequency, but also reach the better treatment performance.…”

Aphasia, this is a mostly common disease in stroke survivors. It can impair the person's ability in listening, speaking, reading and writing, but not the intelligence. Aphasic patient needs to receive speech therapy. But the formal speech therapy may have some limitations and shortages. It is very time consuming for this one-to-one treatment. Besides, we need a lot of speech therapists for aphasic outpatients. In order to solve this problem, this investigation developed an assisted program to treat at home and design some experiments to improve the effectiveness in Taiwan. The experimental procedure adopted a typical procedure called ABA experimental design and found 30 words to treatment at home. Finally, collection and conclusion of the result data. The result shows higher improvement in correct rate and reaction time. So we conclude that using assisted program to treatment at home is feasible and really increase the treatment frequency for outpatients.
