A Conceptual Model For The Processes Involved In Recovery From Aphasia

Abstract

Three major concepts, stimulation, facilitation, and motivation, for the constructs believed important in the recovery process. Aphasia therapy in this structure is a process by which stimulative material is provided in the areas of the patient''s greatest need at the time when his nervous system is most capable of utilizing it for the facilitation of cortical integration. When all 3 concepts are operating at their maximal level, aphasia therapy has its greatest chance for success.
