“…Unlike other augmentative communicative systems that have been used with aphasics (notably C-VIC: Steele, Weinrich, Wertz, Kleczewska, & Carlson, 1989) this systemwhich we will refer to here as the CS-does not focus upon word-finding assistance.…”

“…C-ViC is an icon-based alternative communication system designed for patients with severe aphasia who have limited expressive output, either oral, gestural, or written. All have some impairment of auditory comprehension, ranging from moderately impaired to severely impaired; and impaired syntactic performance (Baker et al, 1975;Gardner et al, 1976;Steele et al, 1989;Weinrich et al, 1995;Weinrich et al, 1997;Naeser et al, 1998). She was considered to have "best response" to the C-ViC treatment program and was able to use the program on a laptop computer to initiate communication and reply to questions in the home (patient #4, Naeser et al, 1998).…”

Improved naming after TMS treatments in a chronic, global aphasia patient – case report

We report improved ability to name pictures at 2 and 8 months after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatments to the pars triangularis portion of right Broca's homologue in a 57 year-old woman with severe nonfluent/global aphasia (6.5 years post left basal ganglia bleed, subcortical lesion). TMS was applied at 1 Hz, 20 minutes a day, 10 days, over a two-week period. She received no speech therapy during the study. One year after her TMS treatments, she entered speech therapy with continued improvement. TMS may have modulated activity in the remaining left and right hemisphere neural network for naming.

“…1 for an explanation of this system) (Steele, Weinrich, Wertz, Kleczewska, & Carlson, 1989;Weinrich, McCall, Weber, Thomas, & Thornburg, 1995). Using C-VIC, it has been possible to investigate the language capabilities even of globally aphasic patients and to demonstrate that some of them are capable of language-like operations This work was supported by NIDCD R01 DCD00856 to MW.…”
