Descriptions of speech-language interventions addressing the unique aspects of aphasia in adolescence appear to be nonexistent. The current paper presents the case of a male adolescent who experienced a stroke with resultant aphasia and the speech and language therapy he received. Furthermore, we discuss the issues that are unique to an adolescent with aphasia and how they were addressed with this particular patient.
Traditional language and apraxia therapy was provided to this patient with inclusion of technology and academic topics.
The patient demonstrated improvements in his speech and language abilities, most notably his reading comprehension and speech production. Age-related issues, including academic needs, group treatment, socialization, adherence/compliance, independence and family involvement, emerged during intervention.
Although aphasia therapy for adolescents may be similar in many aspects to selected interventions for adults, it is necessary for the clinician to be mindful of age-related issues throughout the course of therapy. Goals and interventions should be selected based on factors salient to an adolescent as well as the potential long-term impact of therapy. Implications for Research Aphasia and its treatment in adolescence need to be further explored. Academics and technology are important aspects of aphasia treatment in adolescence. Issues specific to adolescence such as socialization, adherence/compliance, and independence are important to address in speech-language therapy.
针对青少年失语症独特方面的言语语言干预描述似乎并不存在。本文介绍了一名经历中风导致失语症的男性青少年病例以及他接受的言语语言治疗。此外，我们讨论了青少年失语症患者特有的问题以及针对该特定患者如何解决这些问题。
为该患者提供了传统的语言和失用症治疗，并纳入了技术和学术主题。
患者的言语语言能力有所改善，最显著的是他的阅读理解和言语表达能力。在干预过程中出现了与年龄相关的问题，包括学业需求、小组治疗、社交、依从性/顺从性、独立性和家庭参与度。
虽然青少年失语症治疗在许多方面可能与针对成人的特定干预措施相似，但临床医生在整个治疗过程中必须注意与年龄相关的问题。目标和干预措施应根据对青少年重要的因素以及治疗的潜在长期影响来选择。研究启示 青少年失语症及其治疗需要进一步探索。学业和技术是青少年失语症治疗的重要方面。言语语言治疗中解决青少年特有的问题，如社交、依从性/顺从性和独立性很重要。
