S Client came in with good mood on wheel chair for the first session, accompanied by husband and an Indonesian domestic-helper.
A1 Client was not responsive to semantic cues when naming unfamiliar verbs. Although additional cue, gestural cues, was added during DS,
client remain inaccurate in naming推, 玩, 打, 夾. It is suggested this task will be continued in the next session with only verbs familiar
to the client. After she adapts to the intervention method and gains more than 80% success on naming familiar verbs, unfamiliar verbs will
be introduced afterwards.
P1 Goal: The client will be able to name common verbs with semantic cues with 80% accuracy.
Rationale: Client was not able to name unfamiliar verbs in the last session although semantic cues and gestural cues were provided. This
task will be carried out with familiar verbs only to establish higher response accuracy in the client.
Method:
Pre-tx baseline will be measured
4 treated familiar verbs and 4 untreated familiar verbs ( all are mono-syllabic targets) will be presented by video clips to the client to elicit
naming. The clinician will provide semantic cues: the tools used with the target verbs to aid the client. All 8 targets will be presented 1
time.
4- treated familiar verbs are: 帶, 買, 煮, 開
4-untreated, familiar verbs are: A, B, C, D
Accurate responses: correct naming
Inaccurate responses: no response, paraphasia, partial/incomplete naming, response time longer than 5 seconds.
• Text-based processes
• Knowledge-based /heuristic processes
• Scripts
• Mental representations of familiar daily life situations in which
certain events typically occur and occur in a typical order.
• Mild-mod aphasic retain knowledge of scripts
• Ask the patients to predict what would happen next in the sample
scripts
• Semantic Mapping
• Top down, Heuristic Process is much preferred over text- based
process
• Sight Reading
• [開], [危險], 1 -10
• Read in isolation vs Read in Natural contexts
• Software for Sight words (Katz & Nagy, 1983; Major & Wilson, 1985; Weiner, 1983; and
others)
• ST supply highly constrained sentences with final few words missing; patients supply the
missing words.
• The picture of the target word was placed in the centre of the chart, and the participant was prompted to produce the target word and then
produce the semantic features of the target word.
• Features included the target word’s group category, use, action, properties, location, and semantic association. Responses that had a clear
relationship to the attribute in question were judged to be appropriate
• If a participant did not provide an appropriate attribute within 10–15 s, then the examiner provided an appropriate attribute
• Additionally, if a participant gave an inappropriate attribute as a response, the examiner corrected the participant and provided an
appropriate attribute.
• After the semantic features were given, the examiner wrote them in the correct place on the chart.
• All features for the target word were produced in order to encourage use of the SFA chart, even if the participant was able to name the
target word initially or during production of the semantic features. Once the chart was complete, the examiner reviewed the features one
time with the participant, and then moved on to the next item.
• SFA + PACE yield good word retrieval in discourse level (Antonucci, 2009)

• …There is evidence that script training intervention can improve accuracy, grammatical productivity, speaking rate, and articulatory
fluency in script production tasks as well as in more functional conversational tasks..
• The clinician and the patient participate equally as senders and receivers of
messages
• The patient has free choice of communicative modes used to convey a message
• Use Scripts
• Use Short video
• The person with aphasia has to convey content of either the written scripts
or the video to communication partner
• The clinician coach the most effective conversation strategies for both
patients and communication partners
• Drawing
• Drawing with graded semantic meanings
