ABSTRACT

Apraxias are important for the speech therapist, as some types of apraxias can directly affect motor programs of speech muscles. The total incapacity to imitate phonic groups voluntarily (reflex language) makes it impossible to approach the re-establishment of vocabulary in the aphasic patient. The general objective of the investigation was to counteract the total speech apraxia in aphasic patient. A quasi-experimental intervening study was conducted in a single group. The sample was conformed of 25 aphasic patients with zero severity degree (according to Harol Goddglass ant Edith Kaplan Scales). A post encephalic static lesion with total speech apraxia was assisted at the Logopedics department of the International Center of Neurologic Restoration. The incidence of total speech apraxia was determined in a sample demographically and clinically characterized. The sample was designed and applied for proposal of therapeutic approximation to counteract the total speech apraxia. Applied action as to therapeutic approximation permitted patients the appropriation of sound features through visual, auditory and touch vias; thus mitigating the impossibility to integrate the components of the motor program/necessary for the complexity of articulation/ thus making possible the acquisition of reflex language.
