* Melodic intonation therapy (MIT) – aims to use the intact melodic/prosodic processing skills of the right hemisphere to help cue retrieval of words and expressive language  [9]  : 93
* Centeredness Theory Interview (CTI) - Uses client centered goal formation into the nature of current patient interactions as well as future / desired interactions to improve subjective well-being, cognition and communication.  [103]
* Other – i.e. drawing as a way of communicating, trained conversation partners  [97]

Semantic feature analysis (SFA) – a type of aphasia treatment that targets
word-finding deficits. It is based on the theory that neural connections can
be strengthened by using related words and phrases that are similar to the
target word, to eventually activate the target word in the brain. SFA can be
implemented in multiple forms such as verbally, written, using picture cards,
etc. The SLP provides prompting questions to the individual with aphasia in
order for the person to name the picture provided.  [104]  Studies show that
SFA is an effective intervention for improving confrontational naming.  [105]

 Melodic intonation therapy  is used to treat non-fluent aphasia and has proved to be
effective in some cases.  [106]  However, there is still no evidence from 
randomized controlled trials  confirming the efficacy of MIT in chronic aphasia. MIT is
used to help people with aphasia vocalize themselves through speech song,
which is then transferred as a spoken word. Good candidates for this therapy
include people who have had left hemisphere strokes, non-fluent aphasias such
as Broca's, good auditory comprehension, poor repetition and articulation, and
good emotional stability and memory.  [107]  An alternative explanation is
that the efficacy of MIT depends on neural circuits involved in the processing
of rhythmicity and  formulaic expressions  (examples taken from the MIT manual: "I am fine," "how
are you?" or "thank you"); while rhythmic features associated with melodic
intonation may engage primarily left-hemisphere subcortical areas of the
brain, the use of formulaic expressions is known to be supported by right-
hemisphere cortical and bilateral subcortical neural networks.  [8]  [108]

Systematic reviews support the effectiveness and importance of partner
training.  [109]  According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other
Communication Disorders (NIDCD), involving family with the treatment of an
aphasic loved one is ideal for all involved, because while it will no doubt
assist in their recovery, it will also make it easier for members of the
family to learn how best to communicate with them.  [110]

When a person's speech is insufficient, different kinds of  augmentative and
alternative communication  could be considered such as
alphabet boards, pictorial communication books, specialized software for
computers or apps for tablets or smartphones.  [111]

When addressing Wernicke's aphasia, according to Bakheit et al. (2007), the
lack of awareness of the language impairments, a common characteristic of
Wernicke's aphasia, may affect the rate and extent of therapy outcomes.  [112]
Robey (1998) determined that at least 2 hours of treatment per week is
recommended for making significant language gains.  [89]  Spontaneous recovery
may cause some language gains, but without speech-language therapy, the
outcomes can be half as strong as those with therapy.  [89]

When addressing Broca's aphasia, better outcomes occur when the person
participates in therapy, and treatment is more effective than no treatment for
people in the acute period.  [89]  Two or more hours of therapy per week in
acute and post-acute stages produced the greatest results.  [89]  High-
intensity therapy was most effective, and low-intensity therapy was almost
equivalent to no therapy.  [89]

People with global aphasia are sometimes referred to as having irreversible
