Course: #5864Level: Intermediate 1 Hour 82 Reviews

Studies indicate that intensive speech-language therapy for persons with aphasia may be associated with significant improvement. However, there is no standard definition of intensity, and intensive treatment is difficult to provide in the current healthcare environment. In this presentation, dose parameters are defined and the current literature regarding intensity and aphasia treatment is summarized. Methods of increasing treatment intensity are suggested, including the independent use of computer-based therapies.
