(2007) main goal of aphasia rehabilitation is to improve communicative abilities and to minimize the negative impact of the aphasia on the individual’s life. In the first phase of rehabilitation, speech language therapists (SLTs) mostly provide disorder oriented treatment, aiming at the restoration of natural speech. Recent reviews show that specific language treatment is effective and, as a result, may improve verbal communicative abilities. However, in many aphasic patients, especially in people with a severe aphasia, the level of verbal output remains restricted. For the rehabilitation of these patients, alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) is vital. They learn to rely on supportive strategies, such as gesturing, pointing, drawing or writing, or using a communication aid. Increasingly, computerized AAC devices are used in aphasia rehabilitation. Most systems that have been developed specifically for aphasia are devised as a ‘prosthetic device’, to support an impaired linguistic process, such as sentence construction, or word finding. However, their use in everyday life communication is not widespread. So far, most reports on the successful use of high-tech AAC were limited to therapy settings, with no generalization to everyday life. Furthermore, it is unknown whether aphasic patients continue their use of the communication aid after …show more content…
It can likewise rely on upon money related means. While a LTAC gadget may just take a couple of dollars to make, buying a HTAC gadget can cost quite a few thousand. Preferably, people with speech and language disabilities ought to have both LTAC and HTAC accessible to them to use in various circumstances to encourage successful communication. For that reason, this is an investigation of adults between the ages of 50-70 years old diagnosed with severe expressive aphasia secondary to an acute CVA of cognitive aspects of communication in order to determine whether they can obtain techniques to increase communication skills with both low tech (e.g., picture boards) and high tech (e.g., electronic speech generating devices) as two levels of AAC more quickly so that SLPs in the skilled nursing facilities (SNF) can provide effective therapy to adults diagnosed with severe expressive aphasia to help their improvement by communicating self-care and/or medical needs for facilitating discharge from skilled
