Word retrieval, grammar, cognition, memory Evidence Based Practice: A person’s cognitive ability impacts anomia treatment success (Dignam et.al., 2017). Dyadic communication skills can enhance longterm preparation and management of Aphasia (Elman, 1999).
Repetition is significant in driving plasticity and the ability of a patient to rehabilitate (Kleim & Jones, 2008). Language therapy including practice and production of sentences help patients with Aphasia improve internal strategies that assist with fluency of speech (Lee et.al., 2015). Diminished communication access and participation affects an individual’s “emotional and social well-being and quality of life” (Fotiadou, Northcott, Chatzidaki & Hilari, 2014; Hilari, Needle, & Harrison, 2012; Northcott, Moss, Harrison, & Hilari, 2016).
