目的：与大量关于中重度失语症的文献相比，我们对最轻程度的失语症以及是否需要干预知之甚少。这项试点研究的目的是表征的人谁已经恢复到他们的得分正常的失语症电池尚未报告他们继续有aphasia.Method的点所经历的挑战：5人与失语症得分以上的西方失语症电池失语商数（Kertesz，2007年）截止失语症参加了半结构化的采访。一个描述性的定性设计被用来分析在日常交流的情况下的失语症的框架内的困难的主观描述。结果：参与者报告了突出的沟通困难，减少社会参与，难以返回工作，在从事语言任务时持续需要集中精力，并敏锐地意识到持续的障碍。结论：患有非常轻度失语症的人会经历明显的语言困难，这些困难对失语症患者成功生活的多个领域产生不利影响。需要进一步研究更好的评估和干预方法。
Purpose: In comparison to the large literature on moderate to severe aphasia, very little is known about aphasia of the mildest severity and whether intervention may be warranted. The purpose of this pilot study was to characterize challenges experienced by people who have recovered to the point that they score normally on aphasia batteries yet report they continue to have aphasia.Method: Five people with aphasia who scored above the Western Aphasia Battery-Aphasia Quotient (Kertesz, 2007) cutoff for aphasia participated in a semistructured interview. A descriptive qualitative design was used to analyze subjective descriptions of difficulties in everyday communication situations within a framework for living with aphasia.Results: Participants reported salient communication difficulties, reduced social participation, difficulties returning to work, a continual need to concentrate when engaging in language tasks, and a keen awareness of persisting impairments.Conclusion: People with very mild aphasia experience salient language difficulties, and these difficulties have an adverse effect on multiple domains of living successfully with aphasia. Further investigation toward better methods of assessment and intervention is warranted.
