A new clinical battery of aphasia for Chinese speakers: Cant-CAT
What is it about?
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder caused by a left-hemispheric stroke or brain injury. We have newly adapted a Cantonese version of Comprehensive Aphasia Test. This assessment tool will be an important clinical resource when fully validated.
Why is it important?
In the field of communication sciences and disorders (or speech-language pathology), there is a need for greater availability of standardized assessment tools among the languages of the world outside of English. The lack of linguistically- and culturally-appropriate batteries can pose challenges to clinical practice and research in aphasia.
