Rehabilitative potentialities and successes of aphasia therapy in children and young people after cerebrotraumatic lesions (author's transl).
Novel verbal and nonverbal therapeutic techniques are described by means of examples. The aphasic clients range from preschool and school children to young people up to the age of 18. Identification and evaluation of main interest areas enabled individualised combinations of therapeutic measure as well as novel play and/or work situations to be developed, which also involved technical devices: animal voice imitation, play telephone, normal telephone, typewriter, electronic pocket calculator, magic screen, keyed instruments (toy piano, etc.). Rhythmically stressed and "sports" speech training (revolving disc, indoor bicycle, "jouk" sport), hydrotherapy, horseback riding, swimming. Age-adapted conversation, storytelling, motivation through joy and success ("circulus hortativus"), music therapy. Even in cases of extremely delayed treatment, advances may be achieved. Special hints: shorthand therapy, pseudo-phenomena, cotherapy, conversion of right-handed to left.
