Description
Working with Global Aphasia offers critical insights into global aphasia, the most severe and disabling form of aphasia, yet often overlooked in research and rehabilitation. This practical book provides a comprehensive understanding based on clinical observations and literature, addressing both severe language impairments and the co-occurring cognitive deficits that complicate therapy for this population.
Readers will benefit from:
- An in-depth understanding of the clinical characteristics of global aphasia, illustrated with real case examples.
- A theoretical overview of cognitive domains and an exploration of how cognitive deficits affect the clinical presentation of individuals with global aphasia.
- Critical analysis of research findings pertaining to global aphasia.
- An examination of the strengths and limitations of common assessment methods for language, cognition, and functional communication in global aphasia.
- Sugestions for new approaches in assessment and treatment that consider cognitive challenges.
- Detailed guidance on direct and indirect treatment tasks and approaches, including innovative cognitive tasks.
This accessible text equips both experienced speech and language therapists and students new to the subject with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to effectively support people with global aphasia in diverse clinical settings. It is also an invaluable resource for those interested in researching this challenging yet rewarding field.
