Summary

This study aims to evaluate, in communication tasks, the pragmatic effectiveness of the communication book in the general conditions of use and its maintenance in the implementation of the compensatory strategies of communication in severe aphasias.

Detailed description

Data from the literature have demonstrated the effectiveness of speech therapy in aphasic vascular. In the face of sequelae, particularly in the most serious aphasia, a palliative approach aims to increase the functional effectiveness of communication in everyday life. The communication book has been developed in this perspective, addressing aphasics whose language communication skills are greatly reduced. Early use in this trial is warranted by implantation prior to the onset of potentially deleterious compensatory mechanisms seen in the late-stage aphasic sequelae. This study aims to evaluate, in communication tasks, the pragmatic effectiveness of the communication book in the general conditions of use and its maintenance in the implementation of the compensatory strategies of communication in severe aphasias.
