Oral Paragraph Reading in Individuals with Aphasia
Rate, accuracy, fluency, and comprehension of reading material can provide a detailed look at how someone’s reading is affected by aphasia. However, the relationship between reading rate, accuracy, and fluency in individuals with aphasia is currently unknown. We also do not know how these measures of reading are related to reading comprehension. This study examines paragraph reading and comprehension in individuals with aphasia using measures of reading rate, accuracy, fluency and comprehension. Results from this study will provide better diagnostic information, and thus aid in the development of effective treatment approaches.
