A case report is presented of an aphasic patient whose oral communication skills remained nonfunctional eight months after a traumatic head injury. After several unsuccessful attempts at using a variety of augmentative communication devices, manual signing was attempted. Several signs believed to be useful for communicating the patient's needs and wants were selected. The signs were introduced in a three-stage training procedure : imitation of a sign model, pointing to a picture of the concept signed, and producing the sign when presented with the pictured concept. A sign item was considered to be acquired when the patient had progressed through all three of the training stages. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 1987002634 |
