A left hemisphere-damaged, hemiplegic, and globally aphasic man was taught receptive and expressive language using Total Communication--a combination of standardized sign language and speech. After an initial period during which words (in sign) were learned slowly and with frequent lapses of memory, the subject's learning ability and memory improved dramatically. He has learned to communicate using increasingly complex, syntactically correct sentences, self-correcting his mistakes. He reads and understands simple sentences. These results suggest that it may be possible to restore communicative function even in those stroke victims who remain orally aphasic if a suitable means of expression can be found.
一名左半球受损、偏瘫且完全失语的男子通过全面沟通法——一种标准化手语和言语相结合的方法——学习接受性和表达性语言。在最初阶段，他学习（手语）单词的速度很慢，且频繁出现记忆失误，之后其学习能力和记忆力有了显著提高。他已学会使用越来越复杂、语法正确的句子进行交流，并能自我纠正错误。他能阅读和理解简单的句子。这些结果表明，即使是那些仍然存在口语失语的中风患者，如果能找到合适的表达方式，恢复沟通功能也是有可能的。
