How To Treat Broca's Aphasia

Control Noise Levels

In order for the patient to practice their speech therapy exercises and other language skills, it helps to control noise levels within their immediate surroundings. This serves a couple of different purposes. The first is reducing environmental noise simply reduces the distractions a patient encounters when they are trying to grasp the right word during a conversation. Nothing is more frustrating than losing the ability to communicate, unless it is those moments when a word feels as if it is right on the tip of the tongue, and something nearby distracts the patient and they have to start all over again. This can lead to withdrawal and lack of progress in recovery. Secondly, maintaining a calm and quiet environment will allow the patient's brain to gain adequate rest between daily activities. Their brain is working hard and it needs access to fully restful times during the day and healthy sleep at night.
