Base-10 programmed stimulation: task specification, scoring, and plotting performance in aphasia therapy.

Abstract

This report explains and advocates the applicability of time-series designs to document the effects of therapy with aphasic subjects; it describes a measurement system that contributes to organization of therapy, task specification and scoring, and graphic display of change in speech and language behaviors. Examples of patient performances illustrate the application of Base-10 Programmed Stimulation to therapy with aphasic persons.

Authors report about a girl with Landau-Kleffner syndrome. After the history of normal developmental milestones at the age of five-and-half year the patient had absence seizures, and marked receptiv and expressiv aphasia developed gradually. She was found to have Landau-Kleffner syndrome. This entity initially can be regarded as deafness or psychiatric reaction. The seizure activity usually has a favorable outcome, the aphasia can fluctuate for years. The improvement is more likely in promptly treated cases.
