| Description | Background: The use of constraint‐induced treatment in aphasia therapy has yielded promising but mixed results. Aims: We conducted a treatment study with an individual with chronic non‐fluent aphasia. The goal of the treatment was to improve verb production in sentence and narrative contexts. Methods & Procedures: We administered a modified constraint‐induced aphasia treatment in a single‐participant design. Treatment emphasised the production of verbs within informative exchanges. Verb production in narratives was assessed before and after the treatment. Outcomes & Results: Results demonstrated a significant increase in the number of verbs produced during narrative generation following treatment. Moreover, a positive change was perceived by naïve listeners who rated the social‐communicative impact of the participant's narratives. Conclusions: The increase in verb production seen in the post‐treatment measures is attributed to a combination of the constraints imposed on sentence production during the treatment sessions, the informative nature of the treatment exchanges, and the relative intensity of the treatment schedule. |
