“…Writing thus seems to be the dominant and preferred communicative strategy in non-verbal communication. Using gestures and drawings to transmit content in conversation needs to be trained in therapy with the target group as has already been shown for adults with aphasia (Sacchett, 2002). The characteristics of the Szenario-Kids as well as the comparison with the original Dutch version (van der Meulen et al, 2010) and with the German version for adults (Nobis-Bosch et al, 2020) give reason to assume that the diagnostic instrument will mostly be appropriate for children and youth with substantial limitations in communicative abilities.…”

“…Although people with severe language disorders may not or no longer successfully communicate via verbal language, they can learn to communicate via available alternative communicative resources. Alternative communication modalities such as drawing, writing, gesturing, or the use of a communication device can compensate for the disorder to some degree, as shown in adults with aphasia (Damico et al, 2008;Daumüller & Goldenberg, 2010;Farias et al, 2006;Sacchett, 2002). Moreover, the integration of various communicative modalities into the therapeutic and communicative setting can help people in different domains of language, e.g., to generate words during word finding difficulties (Farias et al, 2006) or to comprehend speech (Cook & Goldin-Meadow, 2006).…”

Background: Creating a holistic picture of children and youth who suffer from acquired aphasia or another (developmental) language disorders is very difficult due to missing diagnostic instruments covering participation. Szenario-Kids is a new diagnostic instrument to measure multimodal communication abilities in everyday life situations of children and youth aged 6 to 16 years. Aims: We aimed to examine feasibility and psychometric properties of the model-based Szenario-Kids in the healthy population, to build the basis for later test evaluation in the language-impaired patient group. Method: Szenario-Kids was administered to n = 57 children and youth without communication deficits (mean age 9.16 years; German as native language). The diagnostic instrument was presented twice within two weeks, complemented by standardized diagnostic instruments to cover all communication modalities and enable correlation of performance between tests. Results: Data analysis showed good practicability, satisfying parallelism of test versions A and B ( p = .098-.845), acceptable to excellent reliability (Cronbach's α = .781-.920) and high interrater reliability ( ICC = .733-.960), very strong test-retest correlation ( r = .736-.893) and moderate to strong concurrent validity ( r = -.475-.611; p ≤ .01). Conclusions: The analysis of feasibility and psychometric properties revealed promising results for the group without communication deficits. Neurolinguistic underpinnings can be explained within our Multimodal Communication Model (MCM). Thus, the evaluation of Szenario-Kids in language-impaired children and youth is a next step.

“…In aphasia, drawing has typically been used to augment or compensate for speech loss (Sacchett, 2002). However, there are case reports of individuals using drawing to self-cue verbal word retrieval, or individuals whose naming has improved after treatment targeting drawing accuracy (Cubelli, 1995).…”

Constraint and multimodal approaches to therapy for chronic aphasia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Aphasia is a significant cause of disability and reduced quality of life. Two speech pathology treatment approaches appear efficacious: multimodal and constraint-induced aphasia therapies. In constraint-induced therapies, non-verbal actions (e.g., gesture, drawing) are believed to interfere with treatment and patients are therefore constrained to speech. In contrast, multimodal therapies employ non-verbal modalities to cue word retrieval. Given the clinical and theoretical implications, a comparison of these two divergent treatments was pursued. This systematic review investigated both approaches in chronic aphasia at the levels of impairment, participation and quality of life. After a systematic search, the level of evidence and methodological quality were rated. Meta-analysis was conducted on 14 single case experimental designs using Tau-U, while heterogeneity in the four group designs precluded meta-analysis. Results showed that high-quality research was limited; however, findings were broadly positive for both approaches with neither being judged as clearly superior. Most studies examined impairment-based outcomes without considering participation or quality of life. The application and definition of constraint varied significantly between studies. Both constraint and multimodal therapies are promising for chronic post-stroke aphasia, but there is a need for larger, more rigorously conducted studies. The interpretation of "constraint" also requires clearer reporting.

“…Theta (7-4 CPS) and delta (4 CPS and below) wave patterns occur during sleep but have also been shown to be present when people are engaged in activities of deep concentration, (Cantero et al, 1999;Bhattacharya and Petsche, 2005). In therapy, drawing has been shown to effectively help patients with aphasia to retrieve desired words (Sacchett, 2002). Drawing may improve speech production by providing an alternate neural strategy to access the semantic system.…”
