Transform Your Therapy with Evidence-Based Discourse Intervention

This comprehensive guide provides speech-language pathologists with everything needed to implement NADIIA (Narrative and Discourse Intervention in Aphasia), a powerful multilevel approach proven to improve everyday communication in people with aphasia, primary progressive aphasia, and cognitive-communication disorders.

What Makes NADIIA Effective?

NADIIA integrates three key components: word retrieval, sentence production, and discourse organization across multiple genres, while incorporating metacognitive strategies to support real-life communication. Research shows significant improvements in:

  • Discourse Organization: Enhanced structure in everyday communication

  • Lexical Access: Increased verb and noun usage in connected speech

  • Sentence Complexity: Improved argument structures and syntactic variety

  • Communication Efficiency: More informative and effective expression

What's Included in This Resource:

  • Complete Implementation Guide: Step-by-step instructions for each level of intervention

  • Visual Templates: Mind maps for all discourse genres (narrative, recount, procedure, opinion)

  • Therapy Materials: Sentence cue cards, self-monitoring forms, and visual aids

  • Adaptation Guidelines: Specific modifications for different clinical populations

Perfect For Working With:

  • Post-stroke aphasia

  • Primary progressive aphasia

  • Cognitive-communication disorders

  • Right hemisphere disorders

Based on Rigorous Research

NADIIA is supported by multiple research studies demonstrating significant improvements in everyday communication across different neurogenic populations. This approach bridges the gap between isolated language exercises and functional communication.
