(Garrett, 1998). Assessment for Living With Aphasia (ALA) Developed with funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health, via the Ontario Stroke Network, this comprehensive assessment package provides tools to better assess the impact of aphasia and identify the factors that affect the quality of life and exacerbate or reduce disability. Patient has not shown speech improvement Ventral stream: a stream of processing that supports the interface between sensory-phonologic networks with semantic-conceptual network ("sound to meaning"), from Heschl gyrus bilaterally through the left temporal cortex, with widespread connections to semantic representations bilaterally. An important variable that complicates these deficit associations is the remarkable reorganization of structure-function relationships that often occurs after brain lesions, such that undamaged parts of the brain assume the functions of the damaged part over time, resulting in recovery from even the most severe aphasias (usually only after appropriate language therapy).
