<P> Anomia is consistently seen in aphasia, so many treatment techniques aim to help patients with word finding problems . One example of a semantic approach is referred to as semantic feature analyses . The process includes naming the target object shown in the picture and producing words that are semantically related to the target . Through production of semantically similar features, participants develop more skilled in naming stimuli due to the increase in lexical activation (Boyle, 2004, p. 240). </P> <P> Four types of treatment methods utilize the computer to drive communication in the aphasia population . This includes stimulation, drill and practice, simulations, and tutorials (Raymond, 2004, p. 255). Stimulation focuses on the maintenance of skills over a longer period of time, while drill exercises are categorized as a "teaching deep" process . So, drill and practice exercises attend to only a few stimuli and continue teaching until the participant achieves accurate productions . Then, simulations depict a structured environment with a given challenge and a list of possible solutions to choose from . Lastly, tutorials are informative and strive to provide caregivers the necessary information to create optimal communication for the client (Raymond, 2004, p. 255). </P> <P> Augmentative communication devices are an alternate treatment method for aphasia . Augmentative communication utilizes computers to aid communication through digitized speech, pictures, animation and / or text (Raymond, 2004, p. 255). </P> <P> Comprehension deficits as well as issues of pressure of speech can be improved through comprehension training . Comprehension training confronts the issues of pressure of speech by redirecting patients attention to listening rather than speaking . In this training the clinician will give the patient short instructions with contextual cues (such as facial expressions and gestures) and remind the patient to stop speaking while listening to these instructions through the use of these cues . The comprehension tasks used in this training involve listening to short, context - dependent instructions given by a clinician and initially responding by pointing to an object or picture . These tasks become gradually more difficult as therapy continues . The main goal of this therapy is to enhance patient's attention towards incoming information while simultaneously slowing and monitoring his or her own speech output . Therapists using this contextual approach have found they can increase speech comprehension from 2% to 90% . </P>
