4. Harold Goodglass Aphasia Research Center Located at the Boston Veterans Administration Medical Center and affiliated with Boston University. http://www.bu.edu/aphasia/

What is the HGARC? The principal objective of the Harold Goodglass Aphasia Research Center is to advance the theoretical understanding, clinical evaluation, and management of language disorders produced by injury or dysfunction of the brain in adults. We focus primarily on individuals who become aphasic as a result of stroke or other neurologic impairment. Our overriding research goal is to develop a coherent view of how brain damage leads to the symptomatology of aphasia and related cognitive disorders, and to use that knowledge to enhance our understanding of mechanisms of normal language and their neural bases. After the Second World War the federal government established three National Veterans Centers for the Study of Aphasia. The Center in Boston, located within the VA Boston Healthcare System, attracted a cadre of talented behavioral neurologists, neuropsychologists, neurolinguists, and speech/language pathologists, and in the mid-1960s was established as the Aphasia Research Center (ARC) of Boston University at the VA Boston Medical Center. Increasingly successful in its research activity and increasingly well-known nationally and internationally, the ARC has been continuously supported by the National Institutes of Health since 1965. To honor Harold Goodglass, who was Director of the ARC from 1969 to 1996, the Center has been re-named the Harold Goodglass Aphasia Research Center.

APHASIA Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage to the temporal lobe or higher up in the frontal lobe. It causes problems with receptive and expressive functions. Aphasia is an impairment in understanding and/or formulating complex, meaningful elements of language. It causes problems with words and word order making difficulties in reading and writing. Areas Affected with Aphasia Receptive Deficits Auditory Comprehension-have difficulty understanding what is said to them. Reading Comprehension-Words do not make sense, can not recognize letters. Expressive Deficits Oral Expression Fluent Aphasia-speak fluently but without meaning(makes no sense). Non-Fluent Aphasia-Choppy, broken and a struggle is present with words. Use only key words to get point across. Decreased writing skills-from knowing only a few letters to not being able to write anything. Behaviors of Aphasic Patients Anomia-problem with word finding. They know what they want to say but can't find the words to say it. Sometimes they can be cued or recall by gestures. Paraphasia-use of word substitutions; may use a word that sounds like the target word, or may use a word that means something similar.

16. NAA: Aphasia Fact Sheet One of the most heartbreaking and devastating disabilities is aphasia.Most people have friend acquires aphasia. What is aphasia? http://www.aphasia.org/NAAfactsheet.html

Original Publication Date: 1988 Revised on June 22, 1999 The use of speech to communicate is unique to humans. When speech is impaired or absent, the impact on the person and his family is profound. One of the most heartbreaking and devastating disabilities is aphasia . Most people have not heard about aphasia, nor do they know the term until someone in their family or a friend acquires aphasia What is aphasia? Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is always due to injury to the brain-most commonly from a stroke, particularly in older individuals. But brain injuries resulting in aphasia may also arise from head trauma, from brain tumors, or from infections. Aphasia can be so severe as to make communication with the patient almost impossible, or it can be very mild. It may affect mainly a single aspect of language use, such as the ability to retrieve the names of objects, or the ability to put words together into sentences, or the ability to read. More commonly, however, multiple aspects of communication are impaired, while some channels remain accessible for a limited exchange of information. It is the job of the professional to determine the amount of function available in each of the channels for the comprehension of language, and to assess the possibility that treatment might enhance the use of the channels that are available.

17. APHASIA Overview of aphasia subtypes, authored by Sherry T. Gliesche, MS, SLP, and presented by the International Category Health Conditions and Diseases aphasia......ARCHIVED FILE. aphasia. By Sherry T. Gliesche, MS, SLP. Wernicke'saphasia (also called Sensory, Receptive, or Posterior aphasia) http://www.imssf.org/aphasia.shtml

ARCHIVED FILE APHASIA By Sherry T. Gliesche, MS, SLP Wernicke's Aphasia (also called Sensory, Receptive, or Posterior Aphasia): Lesions causing Wernicke's aphasia usually occur in the auditory association area of the left temporal lobe or in the fiber tracts connecting it with other areas of the brain. This region is known (not surprisingly) as Wernicke's area. Symptoms: Fluent speech, except for pauses that may occur as the patient experiences word-finding difficulty. Rate, intonation, inflection, and stress are normal, but speech sounds "empty" and is lacking in content and meaning. Substitutions of one word for another, such as "table" for "chair", are common in the speech of those with Wernicke's aphasia. Auditory comprehension (e.g., understanding what is said to them) is usually quite poor. Broca's Aphasia (also called Motor, Expressive, or Anterior Aphasia): Broca's aphasia is usually seen following damage to the posterior inferior frontal lobe, obviously called Broca's area. Hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) or hemipareis (weakness of one side of the body) usually accompanies Broca's aphasia. For right-handers the paralysis or paresis is almost always on the right, because lesions causing aphasia are almost always left-hemisphere lesions, and motor control is contralateral. Symptoms: Speech is nonfluent, labored, and halting. Intonation and stress patterns are deficient, and misarticulations are prominent. Broca's speech is often telegraphic and agrammatical. (Not meaning to be rude here, but it sounds a lot like the way Tarzan talksno function words like conjunctions, articles, or prepositions.) BUT, their auditory comprehension is usually much better than their speech! (So never assume that just because a person can't express himself and is paralyzed that he can't understand you!!!!)

18. Understanding Primary Progressive Aphasia An article with a description, assistance available and where to obtain additional information. http://www.aphasia.org/NAAppa.html

Printed Date: Spring 1997 Updated: January 17, 2001 PRIMARY PROGRESSIVE APHASIA is a rare neurological syndrome in which language capabilities become slowly and progressively impaired. This information sheet was prepared by the National Aphasia Association to help explain the condition of Primary Progressive Aphasia to the general public. What is aphasia? Aphasia is an acquired disorder caused by brain damage which affects a person's ability to communicate. The principal signs of aphasia are impairments in the ability to express oneself when speaking, trouble understanding speech, and difficulty with reading and writing. Aphasia is most often the result of stroke or head injury, but can also occur in other neurological disorders, such as brain tumor or Alzheimer's disease. The effects of aphasia differ from person to person, and can sometimes benefit from speech therapy. Strategies to communicate non-verbally (without words) may also be helpful to the person with aphasia. What is primary progressive aphasia?

20. Stroke And Aphasia Information Resources for stroke recovery, including home therapy tips and survivors' stories. Presented by Bungalow Software, a provider of rehabilitation programs. http://strokesupport.com/info/stroke/default.asp

A stroke happens when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel or artery, or when a blood vessel breaks, interrupting blood flow to an area of the brain. The stroke kills brain cells in the immediate area. These cells usually die within minutes to a few hours after the stroke starts. When brain cells die , the abilities they controlled are lost or impaired. This includes functions such as speech, movement, and memory. The specific abilities lost or affected depend on where in the brain the stroke occurs and on the size of the stroke (i.e., the extent of brain cell death).
