Handout: Aphasia
$0.00 Add to cartWhat is Aphasia?
Aphasia is a language disorder following neurological damage, most commonly, caused by a stroke. Depending on the site of damage, signs and symptoms of aphasia will vary. Individuals may experience difficulty understanding spoken or written language, trouble communicating daily wants and needs, or struggle with writing. Aphasia is a loss of language — not a loss of intelligence.

Introduction
Verb Network Strengthening Treatment (VNeST) is an evidence-based technique that focuses on using verbs to target word retrieval and discourse for persons with aphasia. This intervention has shown promising evidence for language production and generalization of lexical retrieval to trained and untrained verbs (Edmonds & Babb, 2011; Edmonds et al., 2014; Edmonds et al., 2009). This resource saves you time and includes everything you need to begin using VNeST with your clients.
Included…
- Each set includes *11 sample verbs
- No prep templates (for each step of protocol)
- Sample responses (for each verb)
- Client data tracking forms
- Clinician cueing guide
- Sample cues (semantic, multiple choice, & picture prompts)
- Semantic judgement sentences (12 for each verb)

$4.99 Add to cartCopy And Recall Treatment (CART) Worksheets (80+ pages and 120 sample target images)
CART is a lexical writing treatment technique focused on improving writing skills for communication in individuals with severe aphasia (Beeson, 1999; Beeson, et al., 2002). Stimuli selected should be personalized and relatable to each client. Practice includes copying target words and progresses to writing words from recall. The CART protocol includes training functional words in sets of five and incorporates a daily homework component six days a week (Beeson, et al., 2002). The activities in this packet were adapted from and are based on the CART protocol (Beeson, et al., 2002).
