Abstract
Constraint-Induced Aphasia Therapy is becoming a technique of increasing interest to help patients with chronic aphasia achieve functional communicative improvements. Anecdotally, changes in discourse and overall functional ability are reported by patients, family and caregivers, however these changes are not always reflected in improved standardized test scores. This pilot study uses discourse analysis to evaluate changes in the conversational abilities of patients who have participated in a CIAT program and compares those changes to the standardized test results from related subtests on the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination obtained before and after treatment.
