Enhancing Aphasia Treatment: Script Training via Telepractice

Enhancing Aphasia Treatment: Script Training via Telepractice

Recent research highlights the effectiveness of script training via telepractice for individuals with chronic non-fluent aphasia. This blog will explore the findings from the study "Script Training Using Telepractice with Two Adults with Chronic Non-Fluent Aphasia" and discuss how practitioners can implement these insights to improve therapeutic outcomes.

Understanding the Study

The study involved two male participants with chronic non-fluent aphasia and their family members. They engaged in script training using videoconferencing. Functional scripts were developed collaboratively, and the accuracy of script production was measured. Participant 1 with Broca's aphasia improved from 0% to 87.5% accuracy, while Participant 2 with Transcortical Motor aphasia improved from 20.2% to 63.5% accuracy.

Key Findings

Implementing Script Training via Telepractice

To replicate these successful outcomes, practitioners should consider the following steps:

Encouraging Further Research

While the study shows promising results, further research is needed to explore the long-term benefits and potential of telepractice for script training in various settings and with different populations. Practitioners are encouraged to stay informed about the latest developments in this area and consider participating in or conducting their own research.
