3.3.1 Home Practice Guides: Copy and Recall Treatment (CART)
This guide outlines Copy and Recall Treatment (CART). It involves repeatedly copying target words from a model and then writing them from memory, directly strengthening the ability to spell and write important everyday words.
Suitable For
- Individuals with mild to moderate aphasia.
- Patients with writing impairments (agraphia)
Objectives
- To re-establish or strengthen the mental orthographic representations of words.
- To improve the ability to write functional words through repeated copying and recall.
