Abstract
The current investigation included 8 participants with aphasia of greater than 3 years duration in Constraint-Induced Language Therapy (CILT). We sought to determine if CILT treatment gains generalized to Narrative Story Card (Helm-Estabrooks & Nicholas, 2003) retelling. We examined two outcome measures, number words produced and content information units, to determine whether quantity of language, quality of language, or both increased with CILT. Although CILT was beneficial to people with chronic aphasia, gains made in treatment generalized only modestly to Narrative Story Card retelling for most participants. Performance across individuals was quite variable and was not well-characterized by group performance.
