Description: This book provides clinicians with evidence-based therapy tasks to enhance naming and word-finding abilities in people with aphasia. The resource addresses the clinical questions of not just “what” to do, but “why” it is being done, and “how” to do it. This first book provides the clinician with tasks that are known to strengthen the link between the semantic system and the phonological output lexicon. The development of the treatment tasks has adhered to current models of psycholinguistic processing and current impairment-based aphasia treatment efficacy research. The tasks items are controlled for word frequency, imageability, and length.
