The purpose of this study was to investigate speech and language pathologists’ recognitions, actual
conditions and difficulties about language rehabilitation for neurogenic language disorder patients. In this study, we examined 68 speech and language pathologist who are currently working in G Metropolitan City
on their difficulties and needs when collecting information on screening, in-depth examination assessment
tool and intervention goals and methods, and on reliable information and their solutions to the problems
occurring during intervention. As a result, in order to evaluate neurogenic language disorder patients, they
primarily used Korean Oro-motor Mechanism Screening Examination as a screening tool, Korean Western
Aphasia Battery as a standardized test, and Boston Naming Test as an in-depth examination. As
intervention goals, they focused primarily on language expressions of patients. During interventions, it
appeared that they usually depended on their own clinical experiences to acquire information but rarely
utilized the knowledge learned at school. Regarding difficulties in intervening subjects, the hardest parts
were the difficulties in evaluation and guidance, and the lack of relevant data. As for the needs for
interventions, the development of diverse teaching materials, and the related seminars and workshops were
the most needed and for the intention of education participation, they were more willing to participate in
training on the methods of intervention and evaluation and the use of assessment tools.
