    Visual Action Therapy consists of three phases: proximal limb gestures using tools like paintbrushes; distal limb gestures using tools like screwdrivers; and oral gestures using objects like whistles. Contextual props are also used, like paint cans for stirring or wood blocks with screws for turning. The therapy moves patients from matching pictures and objects to communicating with self-initiated gestures. The Communicative Drawing Program aims to help aphasic patients convey messages through drawing instead of speech or writing. The goal is for drawing to become a functional way for patients to communicate thoughts and feelings.

    Visual Action Therapy

    Overview: Program consists of three phases:

    proximal limb VAT,


    flag, paint stick, gavel, saw and iron

    distal limb VAT,

    screwdriver, teaspoon, telephone, artists fine paintbrush, and tea bag

    oral VAT.
    whistle, artificial flower, lollipop, drinking straw,

    Contextual props that may be required:

    For proximal limb gestures: empty gallon paint can (for stirring with paint stick)

    For distal limb gestures: block of wood containing a large screw (for turning with
    screwdriver), coffee mug (for stirring with teaspoon and dipping tea bag), and
    paint-by-number outline of picture (for painting with small paintbrush)

    For oral gestures: soft drink bottle (for drinking through straw) and floral essence
    or perfume (to add scent to artificial flower)

    Real objects,

    line drawings of these objects,

    and pictures of a simple figure using the objects.

    Each program consists of hierarchically ordered steps and levels that move the
    patient along a performance continuum from the basic task of matching pictures
    and objects to the communicative task of representing hidden items with self-
    initiated gestures.

    Communicative Drawing Program (CDP)

    Functional Goal: For patients with aphasia who are unable to convey desired
    messages through speech or writing to communicate instead through drawing.

    Functional Outcomes: The ultimate goal of the CDP is for patients to be able to use
    drawing as a functional means of conveying messages, ideas, thoughts and feelings.
