Aphasia: Therapy Several different therapeutic approaches, including behavior modification cognitive therapy combinations of behavioral and cognitive methods, and pragmatic approaches Fitz Gerald, 1996 looks at neural plasticity in recovery from brain injury. He described neural plasticity in monkeys and lower mammalsafter lesions in the motor cortex. Recovery was attributed to a change in allegiance of cell columns near the lesion. These cells took on the motor function of the damaged neurons. According to Fitz Gerald. P. 235 "it is possible to enlarge the motor territory of a patch of cortex merely by injecting a GABA antagonist drug locally into the cortex." Operant conditioning , a form of behavior modification was the first type of therapy used to remediate aphasia. This approach involves shaping language behavior by helping patients progress through a series of tasks presented in fixed order, from least to most difficult. Schuell was the first to take a cognitive approach to aphasia therapy. She proposed that an extended period of intensive stimulation would improve the quality of the aphasic's language behavior. Because it was believed at the time that language was naturally learned through the auditory modality alone, Schuell emphasized the use of auditory stimuli. More recently, Joseph Duffy, in Chapey, 1996, has written an excellent chapter that modifies and improves upon Schuell's approach. As it is now known that input from all modalities contributes to language learning, Duffy suggests a multi-modality approach to rehabilitation for the aphasic patient. Chapey (1994) recommends among other things, the use of

The following definition is from The Encyclopedia of Mental and Physical Handicaps (Tver and Tver, 1991): The term aphasic is applied to a person who has had a total loss or lack of language function. Aphasia is only occasionally found in children; but when it is, its subjects are assigned to one of two major categories: either as expressive (motor) aphasic; or receptive (sensory) aphasic. The expressive aphasic: (1) understands but cannot express; (2) knows words but cannot negotiate them; (3) communicates by pulling, pointing, and gesturing; (4) repeats one or two known syllables; (5) evidences no muscular paralysis; (6) possesses adequate intelligence for speech implementation. The receptive aphasic: (1) lacks understanding of speech and ignores sounds; (2) hears at one moment, but not at the next; (3) may be confused with one who is deaf (the child exhibits the same characteristics); (4) has moderate loss of hearing and may tilt head toward the speaker; (5) displays a discrepancy between intelligence and ability to communicate.
