Abstract

This paper presents the evaluation treatment and improvement of a patient with Broca's aphasia. A specific form of speech therapy, based on the peculiarities of the clinical picture of Broca's aphasia, was applied during one year. Our results have shown that this form of therapy leads to a significant improvement of the communicative abilities, even in the cases with severe form of aphasia. The importance of application of the specific methods and therapies for the rehabilitation of aphasic patients is pointed out.
