Aphasic dyslexia of Braille in a congenitally blind man.

Due to an ischemic attack a congenitally blind man became aphasic. He had a severe Wernicke's aphasia and aphasic dyslexia of Braille. The patient had been a very expert Braille reader before his illness. Two texts of 250 words each were read and the results analysed. One text was in basic Braille and the other in contracted Braille. Results of the analysis are discussed with regard to processes in reading Braille and problems of dyslexia.

[Today's treatment of aphasia--a travel report (author's transl)].

A visit was made to representative centres for the treatment of aphasia in five European countries and information gathered on their organisational structure. Instructional material and rehabilitation techniques were compared and a number of therapeutic methods identified. In this context it was noted that, due to a number of interesting approaches, the therapy of aphasia seems to be extensible and in many ways open to modifications.
