Practice book text competence in aphasia and dementia

The practical book offers a wealth of everyday relevant texts and tasks for adults experiencing language decline due to dementia or aphasia, which can be used to train, improve, or maintain their text competence. Despite the contrasting progressions of both brain-related disorders, speech therapy can be conducted for both conditions using the practice materials in this book, provided that the therapeutic approach is tailored to the client's resources and communicative abilities, and the therapist increasingly takes on conversation-structuring tasks in cases of language decline due to dementia. Suggestions for this can be found in the practical book. The provided texts also offer communication prompts. They enable a therapy that is close to everyday life, preserving the client's joy in communication and participation in social life.
