Agrammatism is characterized by morphosyntactic deficits in production of sentences. Studies dealing with the treatment of these deficits are scarce and their results controversial. The present study describes the rehabilitation of a case diagnosed as chronic Broca's aphasia, with agrammatism, using a method directed to sentence structural deficits. The method aims to expand the grammatical repertoire by training production of sentences with support from contexts that stimulate actions and dialogues. The patient showed positive results on all types of sentences trained and generalized the gains to spontaneous speech. However, these benefits were not sustained in the long term.

The grammar of a right-handed monolingual adult native speaker of Persian who suffered from Broca's aphasic following a left hemisphere frontal lobe lesion subsequent to CVA was analyzed, discussed, and compared with control data. The spontaneous speech and descriptive speech were designed and performed. The data suggested that Persian agrammatism appears like this syndrome in other studied languages; there are severe impairments in the verbs and patients rely more on nouns than on verbs. The patterns of omissions and substitutions of grammatical morphemes seem show extreme variations in different patients, both in terms of the occurrence of errors in different grammatical morphemes as and in terms of the occurrence of omissions versus substitutions. There were also some language-particular patterns.

Vocabulary Bombardment is an evidence based therapy procedure, in which the client is made to listen to amplified target words only through auditory modality. A standardized set of words are provided in a repeated and intensified manner for a period of time. Individuals with Broca’s aphasia have naming difficulties with limited vocabulary, therefore the aim of this study focuses on effect of intense vocabulary bombardment on word retrieval through auditory mode for a client with aphasia. A case study was done on an individual with Broca’s aphasia. Method includes a material, which had tasks to recollect words. The test had 12 sub-tests under it, with each sub-test pertaining to a specific category. The client was provided with intervention with this material for a period of 4 weeks and the word retrieval ability was checked. Significant improvement was obtained following the intervention with vocabulary bombardment.
