How do we work with aphasias?

How we diagnose aphasia

Comprehensive language assessment: through the use and administration of the BETA, Barcelona, WESTERN tests, etc., we can evaluate all areas of the patients language to determine the type of phasia they suffer from.

Anamnesis and interview: we gather information from the medical history, the nature of the brain injury and any history of language or communication disorders.

Specific skill tests: we perform tests to evaluate specific areas of language, like verbal fluency, grammatical comprehension and reading.

How we intervene in aphasias

Setting communication goals: our goal is to enable the patient to communicate effectively and appropriately, whether verbally or non-verbally, thus improving their daily life, as well as that of their family and surroundings.

Compensatory strategies: we teach techniques to help the patient compensate for their communication difficulties, such as the use of gestures, drawings, or alternative communication devices.

Comprehensive treatment on affected areas : during our sessions we work on the affected areas where there's the greatest difficulty to achieve the maximum recovery.

Intervención en el día a día del paciente

Collaboration with family members and caregivers:we provide guidance to family members and caregivers on how to properly support the patient in their communication efforts and facilitate the rehabilitation process.
Home exerciseswe provide clear guidance on how to properly do part of the rehabilitation efforts at home, in pos of keeping the progress we make during our sessions
Uso de tecnología de asistencia: introducimos y se enseñamos a utilizar dispositivos o aplicaciones que pueden ayudar al paciente a comunicarse de manera efectiva. También usamos medios alternativos de comunicación analógicos, ya que no todos los pacientes entienden el uso de las nuevas tecnologías.

Valoración del proceso de forma continua

Monitorización del progreso comunicativo: We conduct regular assessments to measure progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.
Adaptación de estrategias y metodologías: modificamos el enfoque terapéutico en función de la evolución del paciente y las necesidades cambiantes.
Incorporación de tareas funcionales: integramos actividades cotidianas para asegurar que las habilidades adquiridas se apliquen de manera práctica en la vida diaria.
