Apragmatism: The renewal of a label for communication disorders associated with right hemisphere brain damage.

WHAT IT FOUND

What this paper is

This paper is a theoretical proposal and expert consensus piece introducing the diagnostic label 'apragmatism' for communication disorders following right hemisphere brain damage. It outlines the rationale for this label and describes its components (linguistic, paralinguistic, extralinguistic) using existing literature and case examples. However, it does not report original clinical trial data, assessment validation results, or treatment outcomes. There are no findings here to change clinical practice regarding efficacy or assessment metrics.
