image that corresponds to the word provided by the clinician. Understanding spoken sentences: "Treatment to improve comprehension of spoken sentences typically consists of drills in which patients answer questions, follow directions or verify the meaning of sentences". Understanding conversation: An effective treatment method to support comprehension of discourse includes providing a patient with a conversational sample and asking him or her questions about that sample. Individuals with less severe deficits in auditory comprehension may also be able to retell aspects of the conversation. Word retrieval Anomia is consistently seen in aphasia, so many treatment techniques aim to help patients with word finding problems. One example of a semantic approach is referred to as semantic feature analyses. The process includes naming the target object shown in the picture and producing words that are semantically related to the target. Through production of semantically similar features, participants develop more skills in naming stimuli due to the increase in lexical activation. Restorative therapy approach Neuroplasticity is a central component to restorative therapy to compensate for brain damage. This approach is especially useful in Wernicke's aphasia patients that have had a stroke to the left brain hemisphere. Schuell's stimulation approach is a main method in traditional aphasia therapy that follows principles to retrieve function in the auditory modality of language and influence surrounding regions through stimulation. The guidelines to have the most effective stimulation are as follows: Auditory stimulation of language should be intensive and always present when other language modalities are stimulated. The stimulus should be presented at a difficulty level equal to or just below the patient's ability. Sensory stimulation must be present and repeated throughout the treatment. Each stimulus applied should produce a response; if there is no response more stimulation cues should be provided. Response to stimuli should be maximized to create more opportunities for success and feedback for the speech-language pathologist. The feedback of the speech-language pathologist should promote further success and patient and encouragement. Therapy should follow an intensive and systemic method to create success by progressing in difficulty. Therapies should be varied and build off of mastered therapy tasks. Schuell's stimulation utilizes stimulation through therapy tasks beginning at a simplified task and progressing to become more difficult including: Point to tasks. During these tasks the patient is directed to point to an object or multiple objects. As the skill is learned the level of complexity increases by increasing
