What Is The Scenario Test?

The Scenario Test (validated in the UK) is a daily life communication measure for people with aphasia. It measures how a person with aphasia conveys everyday messages, verbally and/or nonverbally, in an interactive setting. A main strength of The Scenario Test is that it captures all types of communication and how effective they are and it is thus suitable for people with severe aphasia, with no or very limited verbal language.

Who Is The Scenario Test For?

The Scenario Test is for people with aphasia. It is particularly useful for people with moderate-severe aphasia as the test focuses on multimodal communication.

Who Can Administer The Scenario Test?

The Scenario Test can be used by clinicians and researchers. Administrators should have expertise with people with aphasia and in administering assessments.
