Hi, As a speech and language therapist I would agree that it totally depends on which type of aphasia the student suffers from. The student will probably know a lot about his/her own aphasia, and should be able to provide you with detailed information regarding the specific difficulties. Aphasia can affect any of the language areas (comprehension, semantics (often word retrieval), syntax, phonology, and pragmatics), but also other cognitive abilities. The support will have to be highly individualised, but I think the most important thing (as always, I guess) is to involve the student in the design of the support.
