Learning Goals
|
The student will be able to:
• explain aphasia syndromes and related
conditions
• describe closed head injury
• describe the effects of right hemisphere
lesions
• administer and interpret a diagnostic aphasia examination
and or a cognitive/executive function evaluation
•
rehabilitate (when prognosis warrants) language and
cognitive functions, including the executive function |
|
|
|
Classroom Requirements
|
Three examinations
A completed
diagnostic test battery for aphasia and/or cognitive
function
Reading and writing assignments |
