Background: SAPS-'Sprachsystematisches Aphasiescreening'-is a novel language-systematic aphasia screening developed for the German language, which already had been positively evaluated. It offers a fast assessment of modality-specific psycholinguistic components at different levels of complexity and the derivation of impairment-based treatment foci from the individual performance profile. However, SAPS has not yet been evaluated in combination with the new SAPS-based treatment.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of supervised self-training for people with aphasia, focusing on their linguistic and communicative performance during structured dialogues.
- The research involved 18 individuals with chronic aphasia engaging in 12 weeks of home training, comparing the impact of intensive language training using an electronic device (B.A.Bar) against nonlinguistic training.
- Results showed that participants using B.A.Bar made significant improvements in their language and communication skills, although the overall benefits were limited; however, 30%-50% of participants experienced noteworthy enhancements in their spontaneous language and communicative abilities.
