    This brain disorder can could involve varying degrees of impairments in four primary areas such as, spoken language expression, spoken language comprehension, written expression, and reading comprehension. If a patient was suspected to have Aphasia, the SLP would first be asked to come to Acute Care to assess the patient to determine the presence and severity of Aphasia. The SLP would review the medical diagnoses, such as a physician’s note, so that they can know what disorder the patient has and any notes the doctor wrote down. They would have an interview with the client and/or family so that they can make sure that everyone is aware of the situation and give tips on how to support/ care for the patient. The SLP would do an orofacial examination to inspect the oral-facial region for structural and functional abnormalities. They would also choose a standard assessment, such as Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination, 3rd Edition, to assess communication in the areas of conversational and expository speech, auditory comprehension, oral expression, and reading and writing. This test is important in classifying the severity and type of Aphasia present, determining language and communication abilities, and provides guidance for treatment. The SLP would have the patient do a speech/language sampling where he/she would ask the patient to do a number of things such as, labeling pictures/objects, pointing to requested pictures/objects, repeating words/sentences, answering open ended questions, etc. to see if the patient is still able to communicate receptively and…

    All forms of dementia can affect the way a person communicates, so in time they may have to find different ways of expressing themselves and their feelings. As a carer your non-verbal communication will become important, your body language, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact and tone of voice will have to be taken into account when you are communicating with a sufferer.

As the dementia progresses, it gets a lot harder for the person to put a sentence together, regular responses like ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ will be maintained for the longest period of time, in the later stages of dementia the person may find it difficult to speak at all.…

    According to the National Aphasia Association, “Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write.” The most frequent reason that brain injury, and thus aphasia, occurs is due to a stroke, head trauma, or brain tumors. Severity of damage can vary from inability to retrieve words, combine words, read, or multiple impairments of communication can be present. Over the past hundred years, different varieties of aphasia have been discovered. Global aphasia, Broca’s aphasia, mixed non-fluent aphasia, Wernicke’s aphasia, Anomic aphasia, and other mixtures of these are found to plague the left hemisphere of the brain. Broca’s aphasia is also known as “non-fluent aphasia” because of the struggle it is to produce speech. In the form of aphasia that occurs in Broca’s area, utterances of less than four words are common because of the extreme decline of speech output. As well, people affected by Broca’s aphasia’s have tremendous difficulty forming sounds and retrieving vocabulary. These sufferers have no trouble understanding speech or reading; however, writing is a definite problem…
