Evidence and Practice Underpinning Gesture-Based Approaches to Aphasia Rehabilitation
Speaker: Miranda Rose, PhD
Live Broadcast: Thursday, August 29, 2019 at 4:00 pm (Central)
For those unable to attend the live broadcast, an archived webinar will be made available shortly thereafter.
Registration will open soon!
Description:
This lecture reviews the latest evidence and practice concerning the use of gesture in aphasia rehabilitation. A theory of gesture-language-speech interaction will be reviewed before evidence concerning gesture production for total communication, gesture facilitation of word retrieval, and gesture assisted linguistic learning is discussed.
Learner outcomes:
By the end of the presentation, participants will be able to:
- Describe the interaction between gesture, language and speech processing from a cognitive linguistic modelling perspective.
- Summarize and apply the evidence underpinning decisions to utilize in gesture as a modality in aphasia rehabilitation to their clinical caseload.
