Western Aphasia Battery-Revised (WAB-R) Kit

The Western Aphasia Battery-Revised (WAB-R) is an instrument designed for the assessment of linguistic and key nonlinguistic skills affected by aphasia in adults with acquired neurological disorders such as stroke, head injury, or dementia. It helps clinicians and therapists gain a detailed understanding of aphasia type and severity, providing a foundation for diagnosis, prognosis, and tracking change over time.

This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and allows them to monitor recovery or decline and tailor rehabilitation plans accordingly. The WAB-R’s flexible administration can be adapted to various clinical settings, from hospital rooms to outpatient clinics.
