Three assessments that are especially appropriate in assessing communication in AD

Name and describe the difference between two treatment hierarchies (discussed together) used to treat aprosodia 

Cognitive- affective and motor-imitative 

One example of difference:

 CA- uses pictures of emotion and name, matches these and client does most of the talking including describing and reading the sentence when provided with various cues- e.g., name and face, only face, and fades to no cues 


MI- client repeats clinician who models appropriate prosody and neutral prosody and steps move toward emulating more natural conversation- e.g., in response to question, pretending to be speaking with family member
