- Abstract
There is a pressing need to assess the pragmatic aspect of language in aphasic patients, as evidenced by most of the current literature on neurolinguistics. Although the necessary tools are available, assessments are still focused on speech and its qualitative analysis. On the other hand, there are very few specific tests in place for severe aphasia and the criteria to determine the degree of pragmatic impairment are not specific enough. It is necessary to rely on resources that enable the speech therapist to assess, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the verbal and non-verbal pragmatic language components of aphasic patients whose minimal communicative skills are compromised. The purpose of this paper is to put forward the tools comprised in the ICRA-R Battery, designed for the systematic assessment of basic pragmatic competence in severe aphasic patients following a progression criterion which is based on the concept of act of speech and definition of pragmatic aspect. This paper further describes the tools, resources and strategies for its clinical implementation and outlines the various degrees of pragmatic severity.
