2 57- Patients with Aphasia Video and Questions

Purpose: To gain insight into language therapy approaches through exploring specific language therapy sessions with patients with aphasia.

Instructions: This week, you learned that aphasia comes in many forms. After reviewing your textbook and module materials on the different types and therapy approaches, youll get a chance to apply much of what youve learned.

For this assignment, youll watch the videos, which include three patients with aphasia. After watching, answer the questions provided below. Some questions will ask for time-stamped examples and your own critical thinking.

Video 1: Fluent Aphasia https://youtu.be/B1SBFUgluK0?si=-Vxqq0vwhLYTNIJq

• How does the SLP regain the patient’s attention?
• Provide three examples of this, including direct quotes and the timestamp for each.
• Did you find this to be helpful? Why or why not?
• Would you have done something differently, related to helping the patient refocus? Elaborate.
• In one of the tasks, the SLP selects words that are all within one category. What category is this? Provide the timestamp for when the SLP explains this to the client.
• In your future practice, what considerations might guide your selection of word categories or subject areas for a patient?
• The SLP asks the client a series of questions. What type of questions does the SLP ask the client?
• The next three questions (below) can involve a description of the patients response or lack thereof. Please include detailed descriptions, quotes (if applicable), and timestamps for each example.
• Give one example that reveals the patient’s receptive language abilities.
• Give one example that reveals the patients expressive language deficits.
• Give one example that reveals the patients repetition ability.
• This patient has Fluent Aphasia. There are multiple types of fluent aphasia. Use your textbook (hint: table 4.1) to identify which type of fluent aphasia this patient is experiencing. Make sure to explain why you identified this type of Aphasia (using table 4.1).
• Review Schuells Stimulation Approach (in your textbook).
• Does the SLP use any of the principles of Schuells stimulation approach, in this session? If so, which ones and provide at least one example (with timestamp).
• Does the SLP integrate any of the four therapy tasks that are used in Schuells stimulation approach? If so, which ones and provide an example (with timestamp).

Video 2: Transcortical Aphasia https://youtu.be/t0VZT811Pxo?si=RNuqZekaOA-nBFDt

• Is transcortical aphasia a nonfluent or fluent aphasia?
• While you are focusing on nonfluent and fluent aphasia, provide definitions for each from your textbook. In other words, define nonfluent and fluent aphasia.
• What material is first introduced to the client? (Provide timestamp).
• How would you describe this patient’s auditory comprehension in this video? Give one descriptive example (with a timestamp) to support your response.
• How would you describe the patients verbal expression? Give one example (with a timestamp) to support your response.
• The SLP tasks the patient with repeating words. Lets practice taking data for this. Write (or type) down each word the SLP presents and show data on the patients responses/accuracy. You can track this with tallies, notes, or another way up to you! The goal is to simply show the patients performance for the repeating words task.
• Based on your data, how would you describe the patients’ accuracy in repetition?

Video 3: Brocas Aphasia https://youtu.be/JWC-cVQmEmY?si=0TZmxfGbUsGbG7PD

• Is Brocas Aphasia fluent or nonfluent?
• Where does this client work?
• Pause and think about the patient’s response when he is answering about his work.
• If you were the SLP responding to this, what treatment strategies or cues would you (as the SLP) use? Include a reference to support your strategy or cue.
• The next three questions can involve a description of the patients response or lack thereof. Please include detailed descriptions, quotes (if applicable), and timestamps for each example.
• Give one example that reveals the patient’s receptive language abilities.
• Give one example that reveals the patients expressive language deficits.
• Give one example that reveals the patients repetition ability.
