Contributed by Maureen Forrest

The article describes "Attentive Reading with Constrained Summarization-Written" (ARCS-W), a multi-modality writing treatment.

Two participants with mild aphasia were administered ARCS-W, which requires reading small units of text from news articles and summarizing them verbally and in writing using constraints such as "use specific words, use complete sentences, and stay on topic." Post treatment, both participants demonstrated improvement in untrained discourse.
