Abstract
PurposeTo describe the nonliteral language deficits associated with right hemisphere disorder (RHD), discuss the neuroimaging data associated with the processing of nonliteral language, and to offer some suggestions for treating this type of cognitive-linguistic disorder.MethodIn this discussion, we review literature on comprehension of metaphor, idioms, proverbs, and sarcasm and provide some treatment options.ConclusionThe evidence-based treatment options for the remediation of figurative language deficits are extremely limited, not only for those individuals with RHD, but for all populations of children and adults with figurative language comprehension impairments.
