Background Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a language-prominent dementia that fundamentally impacts the lives of not only person with diagnosis, but also their family members. While assuming caregiving role, care partners are vulnerable to negative health and psychosocial consequences own. Support groups one way meet needs partners, providing opportunities for individuals common experiences socialize, obtain knowledge about disorders, learn coping strategies. Given PPA rare in-person...
Speech-language pathology caseloads often include individuals with hearing loss and a coexisting neurogenic communication disorder. However, specific treatment techniques modifications designed to accommodate this population are understudied. Using single-case experimental design, the current study investigated utility of modified Video Implemented Script Training for Aphasia (VISTA) an individual nonfluent/agrammatic variant primary progressive aphasia severe-to-profound, bilateral loss. We...
Individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) experience loss of communication abilities in the context neurodegenerative disease. Consequently, many individuals PPA endorse negative psychosocial effects, including social isolation, reduced confidence, and depression. Incorporating communication-centered counseling early often within speech-language pathology treatment framework is a vital component holistically addressing multifaceted ramifications living this devastating disorder....
Purpose This study sought to determine the initial feasibility and benefit of a novel intervention that combines speech-language treatment with counseling for an individual nonfluent/agrammatic variant primary progressive aphasia (PPA). Method Using single-case experimental design, we evaluated utility modified script training paired aphasia-modified cognitive behavioral therapy. The employed multiple baseline design across scripts linguistic outcome measure mixed methods approach analyzing...
