A picture manual to help stimulate aphasic individuals in automatic speech tasks

The stimuli presented in this manual provide individuals who have aphasia with practice in automatic speech tasks designed to facilitate increased vocabulary and noun retrieval. This manual consists of picture stimuli and written carrier phrases which may be presented visually and auditorily. Those in initial stages of treatment may benefit from the maximum stimulation provided by visual clues when they are also combined with verbal clues. The spiral bound manual is composed of 40 printed pictures, each appearing 3 times in succession. The first shows the picture only. The second shows the picture with carrier phrase. The third shows the picture with carrier phrase and identification title. Instructions included. By: Angela Tipton Dikengil, M.S., CCC/SLP.
