  1. WHO Classifications (1980)

  2. Auditory Comprehension Goals(Pierce, 2000) • Goals • Teach caregivers techniques of communicating with patient to facilitate communication • Improve patient’s auditory skills • Teach patient strategies that will compensate for difficulties • Gestures - shrugging shoulders • Facial Expressions - frowning • Verbal Expressions - request for repeat or to speak slowly

  3. Auditory Comprehension Target Skills (Pierce, 2000) • Target Skill Areas • Pointing to pictures • Yes-No questions • Following directions • Listening to stories and answering question

  4. Auditory Comprehension Strategies (Pierce 2000) • Strategies • Speak slowly • Alert the patient to the task • Stress keywords • Add supplementary information • Gesturing • Writing down keywords • Repeat the message (rephrase) • Allow patient time to process and respond • Manipulate the number and complexity of stimuli presented • Proceed from concrete (objects) to abstract (pictures)

  5. Expressive Language - Severe Level (Pierce 2000) • Goals • Establish effective communication system by pointing to pictures or written words in communication book • Establish reliable “yes-no” response system by head shakes, verbalization, or facial expression • Provide patient and caregiver training and counseling regarding patient’s communication deficits

  6. Expressive Language - Moderate-Mild Level(Pierce 2000) • Goals • Improve word-retrieval skills • Teach patient strategies to enable him to become a more effective communicator • Provide patient and caregiver training and counseling regarding patient’s communication deficits

  7. Expressive Language - Moderate-Mild Level(Pierce 2000) • Strategies • Clinician presents stimuli in such a way that patient can respond appropriately • Clinician chooses stimuli and manipulates • Semantic Categories • Form (objects, pictures, text) • Mode of stimulus presentation (auditory, visual, or multi) • Cues • Imitation • Phonemic cues • Sentence completion • Written cues • Semantic cues • Gesturing

  8. Goals & Options for Therapy • Goals • To assist people to regain as much communication as their brain damage allows (maximize use of residual linguistic capacities). • To help them learn how to compensate (develop augmentative or alternative modes of communication) for residual deficits • Options available to the clinicians to achieve these goals are • simplify the tasks and instructions • control or manipulate the stimuli • provide a wide variety of prompts and cues • manipulate the mode of input (Stimulus Modes) • manipulate the level of response (Response Modes)
