Speech and Language Interventions for Italian People With PPA

"The SLT intervention will be entirely administered online through a web-based platform. While each of the treatments will engage semantics, phonology, and orthography, the protocols will be tailored relative to the characteristics of each PPA variant. Patients with svPPA and lvPPA will undergo a lexical retrieval training (LRT) intervention implemented using a training cascade.~Patients with nfvPPA will undergo Video-implemented Script Training (VISTA), a choral reading approach training accurate production of functional scripts. The method is based on that implemented in American-English individuals with PPA and aims at improving grammar and motor aspects of speech production by taking advantage of repetitive practice and automaticity."
