A case study in word finding

Susan Wittmann

York Road Language Unit, Dartford

A joint semantic and phonological approach to word-finding problems was employed in the treatment of a language-disordered child per forming confrontational naming tasks. The techniques used strengthened the child's semantic network and phonological awareness and encour aged self-cuing. Thirty pictures which the child could not name correctly were used. Ten pictures formed a control to test naming ability before and after treatment while the remaining twenty were used for both treat ment and testing. Three treatment sessions per week for eight weeks were given. Post-treatment results showed a marked improvement in naming both control and treatment pictures and a small improvement in self-cuing skills. Repeat testing two months later after the summer holidays showed the improvement in the control group had been main tained, but there had been some loss of skill in naming the treatment pictures. Nine treatment sessions over six weeks were then given and a second maintenance test performed. This showed an overall increase in naming skills and a small improvement in self-cuing ability. The reasons for the improvements are discussed.
