What it is: VNeST is a therapy approach focused on improving sentence production by targeting verbs and their associated nouns, leveraging the central role of verbs in sentence structure.

How it works: VNeST strengthens connections between verbs and their subjects or objects. People are given a verb like "cook" and asked to generate sentences by identifying "Who cooks?" and "What do they cook?" This encourages thinking about sentence roles and forming meaningful word connections.

Research evidence: Research with 55 participants showed 82% improvement in naming trained items, 40% improvement in untrained items, and enhanced sentence production with lasting benefits for at least 3 months.

Best for: Various aphasia types from mild to moderate-severe, including anomic, conduction, Broca's, and transcortical motor aphasia.

Our widget advantage: Our VNeST exercise provides interactive verb scenarios with customizable difficulty levels and progress tracking for meaningful communication improvement.
