Abstract

Three individuals with a moderate to severe aphasia and coexisting AOS post left hemisphere stroke participated in this study. A modified Anagram and Copy Treatment (ACT) and Copy and Recall Treatment (CART) with video technology for verbal home practice was implemented. The least severe participant demonstrated some benefit from verbal repetition training, whereas the others had difficulty with independent practice. In the writing condition, all participants met criteria for the trained sets, and one participant demonstrated generalization to untrained items. The results showed that the 5-point scoring system (Helm-Estabrooks, 2003) provided more detailed data on progress, than traditional binary scoring.
