Book Synopsis Aphasia Screening Test by : Renata Whurr
Download or read book Aphasia Screening Test written by Renata Whurr and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1996 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aphasia Screening Test (AST) is a standardised, comprehensive yet simple screening test battery designed specifically for use with older adults with acquired aphasia during the early stages of evaluation, to identify severe to moderate levels of language disturbance. The AST is a short, practical clinical tool, easy to use and administer. It provides an objective baseline of language impairment. It yields quantitative as well as qualitative information, providing a profile on which to base treatment. Re–testing produces objective outcome measures of changes in language function. There are 50 short subtests (each of 5 items) organised in levels of difficulty from simple to complex, 20 which asses the input modalities of auditory and reading comprehension and 28 which assess the output modalities of oral and written language production. There are 2 subtests of calculation. Factor analysis of the AST resulted in six clear and statistically significant factors providing evidence for the reliability and internal consistency of the AST. A discriminant analysis resulted in identifying the most discriminating sub tests and provided the basis of the 10 subtest(4 input and 6 output). "The Short Form" AST can be used as an initial screen for patients who can not respond to the full 50 subtests procedure. The second edition of the Aphasia Screening Test is box packed and contains: 1 AST Test Display Book(41 pages spiral bound) 1 AST Test Instruction Manual (including 14 case histories, 57 pages) 1 AST Test Statistics Manual (full standardisation data , 71 pages) 1 AST booklet of 45 Test Cards (spiral bound) 5 AST Test Objects ∗10 AST Test Composite Assessment Record Forms ∗10 AST Test Writing Booklets 1 AST Short Form AST 10 Subtest Display Booklet and Instruction Manual (spiral bound , 16 pages) 5 AST Short Form Test Cards ∗10 AST Short Form Assessment Record Forms ∗10 AST Short Form Writing Booklets ∗Further copies of these items may be downloaded at www.wiley.com/go/aphasiascreeningtest

Download or read book Aphasia Screening Test (AST) written by Renata Whurr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a hugely successful, tried and tested assessment for adults with acquired aphasia. Used by more than 2,000 speech & language therapists, this user-friendly and enjoyable assessment is straightforward to use, easy to interpret and clinically effective. Portable and suitable for bedside assessment, the responses can now be digitally recorded on the accompanying CD Rom. Designed for severely- to moderately-impaired aphasic adults, the AST is a sensitive and comprehensive clinical tool for obtaining a profile of the communication and language processes of listening, understanding, speaking, reading and writing. The responses are entered onto the computer programme to produce clear test results and profile summaries outlining the main strengths and weaknesses of the patient, thus facilitating treatment plans. Once analysed, the profile defines areas of language disturbances in order to help plan treatment, and re-testing provides an objective measure of changes in a patient's language and communication functions. Used successfully for more than 30 years, the AST is the benchmark for aphasia screening. Now with an interactive CD Rom, this third edition is an essential resource for all clinicians working with adults.

Download or read book Children's Acquired Aphasia Screening Test (CAAST) written by Renata Whurr and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1999-03-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acquired childhood aphasia (ACA) refers to the language impairments that may follow a brain lesion sustained after the age of acquisition of first sentences. The CAAST is designed to identify language disturbances in brain- damaged children in the three to seven year old age group who acquire ACA following accident or illness. The test was constructed along the same systematic sensory-motor input/output multi-modality framework as the adult Aphasia Screening Test. The 25 subtests (each of 5 items), 12 for assessment of comprehension and 13 for assessment of production, were carefully selected to be suitable for children aged from 2 to 7 years. Test materials were designed to be simple, unambiguous, easy to administer and manipulate. The test was normed on 108 healthy children in the age range from 3 to 7 years. The screening battery was used to assess several children with ACA and provided a profile of qualitative and qualitative of pre-linguistic and linguistic impairments. This profile provides an objective basis for planning management and treatment. Re- assessment produces objective outcome measures of changes in pre-linguistic and linguistic function. The battery consists of 5 subtests of visual perception which involve matching objects, shapes, pictures and colours. One pre-reading test requires matching letter -like shapes. Six auditory language subtests involve selecting objects, pictures, colours, animal action pictures and pictures of object by function. Tests for speech and language production include 4 pre speech tests where the child imitates tongue movements, animal sounds, speech sounds and counts aloud from one to ten. Language production tests include picture confrontation naming, sentence formulation, picture description and conversational responses. Additionally there are drawing , copying and gestural tests. The CAAST is box packed and consists of:1 CAAST Test Display Book (spiral bound, p.24)1 CAAST Test Instruction Manual (including normative data and patient profiles, p.42) 10 CAAST Test Objects 25 CAAST Test Cards *10 CAAST Assessment Record Forms *10 CAAST Pass/Fail Record Forms *10 CAAST Summary Record Forms *10 CAAST Transcription Record Forms *10 CAAST Drawing and Copying Forms *Items may be purchased separately: 1999 £150.00 ISBN 1 89763 588 5

Book Synopsis The Effectiveness of Rehabilitation for Cognitive Deficits by : Peter W. Halligan
Download or read book The Effectiveness of Rehabilitation for Cognitive Deficits written by Peter W. Halligan and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book, some of the leading clinicians and cognitive neuroscientists consider the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation. They situate the issues within an overall context that considers the different types and levels of diagnosis and assessment, the adequacy of underlying cognitive theory for rehabilitation, and more importantly, the clinical effectiveness of current treatments to improve functional recovery. By employing an evidence-based approach that critically evaluates the published literature, the book provides for a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the cognitive approach and hopefully a more realistic expectation of its outcome for patients with neurological deficits." "The book will serve as a valuable source for a wide spectrum of professionals who deal with the neuropsychological and neurological effects of brain damage."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Construct Validation of the Verbal and Nonverbal Components of the Reitan-Indiana Aphasia Screening Test with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale by : Fernando Pastrana
Download or read book Construct Validation of the Verbal and Nonverbal Components of the Reitan-Indiana Aphasia Screening Test with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale written by Fernando Pastrana and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current series of analyses, the AST was shown to be composed of multiple verbal, nonverbal, and attentional component constructs that were closely related to verbal, nonverbal, and "freedom from distractibility" factorial dimensions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). Basic academic skills were also identified in some AST item analyses. The results support use of a factorial dimensional model that combines factorial constructs from the AST with factorial components of the WASI in both clinical and experimental applications. Analysis of the AST at the factorial construct level appears to provide more nuanced information than description of global AST performance level alone.
