What is it about?
Aphasia is a language disorder that can occur after stroke. Conversational script training is one treatment for aphasia. In this treatment, people practice common conversational exchanges to help them use those functional sentences in real-life conversations. This research study looked at the impact of one and two hours of conversational script training for people with aphasia, showing that we can document improvement even with these small doses. Much more practice is needed for long-term learning of these scripts, but this study gives us a starting point for figuring out how much practice is needed.
