Impact of Naming Treatment on Linguistic and Cognitive Abilities in Persons with Aphasia: A Case Report

Abstract: Aphasia is a language impairment seen in individuals with brain damage. Naming impairments are commonly noticed in persons with aphasia. Speech-language therapy with traditional approaches in treating naming impairments was found effective in treating specific impairments at the level of semantic and phonemic processing. A combined approach in treatment is a new step toward training naming abilities in persons with aphasia. An intensive treatment plan with domain-specific techniques helps in the overall progression seen in communicative effectiveness. In this case report, we present a 23-year-old male with Wernicke's aphasia as a sequel of a cerebrovascular accident. We discuss the assessment of language and cognitive impairments and management of the language domain alone in the case reported. This case report highlights the impact of naming treatment on overall communicative effectiveness. The importance of early and intensive intervention programs for persons with aphasia could render a better prognosis. The speech-language pathologist's role in planning therapy (counterbalancing methods) goals for treating aphasia is vital in progress.
