Therapy for 12 wk, emphasizing functional communication content, was conducted twice weekly in a group setting for 7 chronic aphasic patients whose average postonset time was 97.9 mo. Porch Index of Communicative Abilities (PICA) test scores did not change significantly as a result of this treatment. Communicative Abilities in Daily Living (CADL) test scores revealed statistically significant improvement in posttreatment performances. A final administration of CADL tests 6 wk after cessation of functional communication treatment indicated that the positive change in CADL scores had been maintained.
