Abstract

This case study was designed to determine whether a family-based approach to speech language therapy as defined by Andrews and Andrews (1990) provides a cost-effective approach to speech language treatment of chronic aphasia. A patient with chronic moderate Broca's aphasia participated in both conventional aphasia treatment and family-based treatment. Resu Its demonstrated that in this patient family-based therapy was at least as effective for communication improvement as traditional aphasia therapy and that it shows promise as a cost-effective adjunct or alternative to traditional treatment in patients with chronic aphasia.
