Some ways of optimization of aphasics rehabilitation

The main task of re-education in aphasia is the restoration of speech communicative function, which is characterized by activity, directionness and intentionality. These features can appear only in a society, with the best medium for its realization being a group or a society. Group lessons profit from the dynamics of the small social group in order to restore general and verbal communication. The group lesson also makes it possible to organize correctly, a verbal environment for aphasics. We have worked out methods of group rehabilitation based on some theoretical points of view, such as the conception of aphasia as a system and not as an isolated problem. This is comprised of these constituents: (1) problems of speech itself, (2) problems of speech relations with other mental processes, (3) problems of personality. We worked out three groups of methods: (1) methods influencing speech; (2) methods influencing other mental and status; (3) methods influencing patients personality, their emotions and wills.
