APHASIA ASSESSMENTS
Eisenson's Examining for Aphasia (EFA-4) assesses language abilities. Its use as forensic evidence is limited.
The Reitan-Indiana Aphasia Screening Test screens for:
1. Dyslexia
2. Dyspraxia
3. Dyscalculia
4. Dysnomia
The examinee is asked to perform diverse tasks such as naming common items and distinguishing between right and left. The results can be influenced by intelligence level and mental disorders.
Other aphasia tests include the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE) and the Neurosensory Center Comprehensive Examination for Aphasia.
