Manual of Cooperative Group Treatment for Aphasia

Dr. Avent describes an innovative treatment based on cooperative learning. The technique is designed to teach groups of aphasics or head injury victims to work together to best achieve common goals. While completing assigned tasks, each group member is responsible for the improved communication of a partner through described cooperative learning principles. Each scenario is broken down to include treatment selection criteria, task materials, partner roles, and treatment outcome measures. This format is geared at facilitating the clinician's role.
