Script Training is a therapy that helps individuals improve their ability to participate in specific, predictable conversations. Patients practice set scripts for common situations, such as ordering food at a restaurant or greeting someone, to build confidence and fluency in real-life scenarios.
Begin by identifying a situation where the person with Aphasia wants to improve communication. Work together to write a script for that scenario. Practice the script repeatedly, first with the therapist and then with others. Encourage the person to practice at home and use the script in real-life situations when ready.
