Therapy 1
Purpose - Stimulate lexical access by semantic categories + naming + reading stimulus + semantic categorization
Strategies: 1. Through figures, identify which elements belong to certain semantic categories (animals, fruits, transportation, furniture and household items).
2. After this step, elect more elements from each category from the patients. Use facilitation strategies whenever necessary (What are they for? Where do we find them? Is it to eat? What color is it? What is the size?).
3. On a piece of paper, indicate a written word and ask the patient to identify the picture corresponding to the word. After that, he must also classify the semantic category. After this step, patients can also complement the semantic categories with new elements.
4. Task: suggest a related home task, for example, remember/write/cut out elements from the categories worked on during therapy. |
Therapy 2
Purpose - Stimulate lexical access via phonological + semantic/phonological categorization + naming + written stimulus with figure association
Strategies: 1. Categorization: Identification of elements belonging to the phonological categories (Ex: strawberry - phonological category M).
2. Perform the quick naming of figures (figures that start with a target phoneme).
3. On a piece, indicate a written word and ask the patient to identify which figure it belongs to. After this step, elicit more lexical items from the target phonological category (more words that start with the sound of P, for example).
4. Task: suggest a related task for home, for example, cut/write words that start with the "F" sound). |
Therapy 3
Purpose - Stimulate naming + lexical access via semantics + semantic categorization
Strategies: 1. Present figures and ask the patient to name them. Give clues when necessary (the initial phonemes of the word, for example).
2. Request that the figures be classified into semantic categories.
3. Elect more elements from each category from the patient. Use facilitation strategies whenever necessary (What are they for? Where do we find them? Is it to eat? What color is it? What is the size?).
3. Task: suggest a related home task, for example, remember/write/cut out elements from the categories worked on during therapy. |
Therapy 4
Purpose - Written stimulus with association with the figure + lexical access by semantic and phonological means
Strategies: 1. On a piece of paper, indicate a written word and ask the patient to identify which figure it belongs to.
2. Elicit from the patient more elements of a certain semantic category (example: this is the monkey, what are other animals you remember?) Or phonological (example: monkey starts with M. What are other words you remember that starts with M?).
3. Task: suggest a related home task, for example, remember/write/cut out elements from the categories worked on during therapy. |
Therapy 5
Purpose - Reading stimulus with figure association + semantic categorization + lexical access
Strategies: 1. On a piece of paper, indicate a written word and ask the patient to identify the picture corresponding to the word.
2. After that, the patient must also classify the semantic category (fruit, animals, transport, food,).
3. After this step, the patient can also complement the semantic categories with new elements.
4. Task: suggest a related home task, for example, remember/write/cut out elements from the categories worked on during therapy. |
Therapy 6
Purpose - Stimulate naming and lexical access (through phonological means)
Strategies: 1. Present figures to the patient. Request that the figures be named. For this task, choose a target phoneme (example: L, P, F).
2. After the picture naming step, elicit more words from patients that start with the same sound/phoneme.
3. Task: suggest a related home task, for example, remember/write/cut out elements from the categories worked on during therapy |
Therapy 7
Purpose - Stimulate naming and lexical access (through semantic means)
Strategies: 1. Present pictures to the patient of a certain semantic category (fruits, animals). Ask the patient to perform naming. Figures can be quickly named after this step, depending on performance.
2. After the step of naming the figures, elicit more words from the patient belonging to the semantic category in question.
3. Task: suggest a related home task, for example, remember/write/cut out elements from the categories worked on during therapy. |
Therapy 8
Purpose - Stimulate naming + lexical access (via semantics) + reading stimulus with association with spelling
Strategies: 1. Present figures of a certain semantic category. Ask the patient to perform naming. Figures can be quickly named after this step, depending on performance.
2. After the step of naming the figures, elicit more words from the patient belonging to the semantic category in question. Use more than one semantic category per therapy session (when possible).
3. On a piece of paper, indicate a written word and ask the patient to identify the picture corresponding to the word.
4. Task: suggest a related home task, for example, remember/write/cut out elements from the categories worked on during therapy. |
Therapy 9
Purpose - Stimulate the naming of action verbs + lexical access (phonological path) and reading stimulus with association with the figure
Strategies: 1. Present figures with actions. Ask the patient to perform naming. Figures can be quickly named after this step, depending on performance.
2. After the step of naming the figures, elicit words from the patient that begin with the same sound. Use clues to help you in this process (the initial phonemes of the words/beginning of the word for example).
3. On a piece of paper, indicate a written word and ask the patient to identify the picture corresponding to the word.
4. Task: suggest a related home task, for example, remember/write/cut out elements from the categories worked on during therapy. |
Therapy 10
Purpose - Stimulate the naming of action verbs + lexical access (phonological and semantic means) + reading stimulus with association with the figure
Strategies: 1. Present figures with actions. Ask the patient to perform naming. Figures can be quickly named after this step, depending on performance.
2. After the step of naming the figures, elicit more words belonging to the semantic/phonological category in question. Use more than one semantic/phonological category per therapy session (when possible).
3. On a piece of paper, indicate a written word and ask the patient to identify the picture corresponding to the word.
4. Task: suggest a related home task, for example, remember/write/cut out elements from the categories worked on during therapy. |
| Note: Strategy for all therapies: Suggest a task related to the subject worked in therapy to be performed at home, for example: remember/write/cut out 5 (or more) elements of the categories worked during the therapy. |
