Twelve weeks of therapy emphasizing functional communication content was conducted twice weekly in a group setting for seven chronic aphasic patients whose average post-onset time was 97.9 months. Porch Index of Communicative Abilities (PICA) test scores did not change significantly as a result of this treatment. Communicative Abilities in Daily Living (CADL) test scores, however, revealed statistically significant improvement in post-treatment performances. A final administration of CADL tests six weeks after cessation of functional communication treatment indicated that the positive change in CADL scores had been maintained.
针对7名慢性失语症患者进行了为期12周的治疗，治疗重点为功能性交流内容，每周两次，以小组形式进行，这些患者的平均发病后时间为97.9个月。经过这种治疗，皮彻交流能力指数（PICA）测试成绩没有显著变化。然而，日常生活交流能力（CADL）测试成绩显示，治疗后的表现有统计学意义上的显著改善。在功能性交流治疗停止六周后，对CADL测试进行的最后一次评估表明，CADL成绩的积极变化得到了维持。
