Table I. Abbreviated content of the 52 rated questions of the ALA followed by the five descriptive or frequency questions. Note that this is not the actual wording of questions since questions are presented in a conversational script form.
Figure 2. Example of pictographic support included in the Assessment for Living with Aphasia (ALA). Each is an example of a page seen by the client with aphasia during the administration of the ALA (reprinted with permission of the Aphasia Institute, Toronto, CA).
Table II. Characteristics of participants with aphasia.
Table III. Descriptive statistics on each ALA scored item including the mean score and standard deviation (SD), item median and item test–re-test reliability (intra-class correlation: ICC).
Table IV. Abbreviated content of items with poor test–re-test reliability, face validity, or missing values.
Table V. Correlation (Pearson's) between domain scores and total ALA score.
Table VI. Test–re-test reliability as measured by intra-class correlations (ICC) (with 95% confidence intervals (CI)) for each ALA domain and total ALA score along with Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency.
Table VII. Correlation (Pearson's) of ALA total score with three reference measures.
Table VIII. Discriminant group analyses conducted with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni correction using ALA scores and BDAE severity ratings grouped into mild, moderate, and severe aphasia.
