Phonologically-based treatment for reading impairment in aphasia
What is it about?
This paper describes a treatment program, phonomotor treatment, that resulted in improved reading and phonological processing abilities on untrained items in 8 individuals with aphasia and alexia.
Why is it important?
This study suggests that training phonology in a multi-modal manner, beyond letter-sound correspondences, may be an effective approach to improve reading abilities in individuals with aphasia and alexia.
