失語症病患文法失用問題之治療：病例報告

Abstract

A syntax stimulation program, based upon the syntactic hierarchy of difficulty, was used to treat a thirty year old brain injury patient with severe agrammatism. This program is designed to elicit the basic Mandarin sentence constructions using a story completion technique. With 80 sessions of treatment, the patient's spontaneous speech and picture description showed increased phrase length, use of grammatical onstructions and communication skills. From the preliminary study, this program appears to have therapeutic merit in training syntactic skills of agrammatic Chinese patients.
