The City Gesture Checklist (CGC) is a ‘quick and dirty’ printable resource for gesture analysis in aphasia. It enables clinicians and researchers to analyse and record the types of gesture produced by people with aphasia without the need for time-consuming video gesture coding facilities. The CGC synthesises coding categories used in the research literature about gesture in aphasia to help clinicians and researchers structure their observations of gesture. Users can record the types of gestures that people with aphasia use and factors affecting gesture use – encouraging reflection on how effectively a person is using gesture.
