Abstract
Until recently, the language symptoms in acquired aphasia in children were considered mainly expressive, with few of the characteristics of adult aphasia. Recent data, however, point to a number of aphasic symptoms in children more varied than previously thought and also often organized as in adult aphasias. In practice, this means that rehabilitation methods proven effective in adults could be used in children. Moreover, on a theoretical level, the traditional views of a progressive specification of the language areas in the left hemisphere are challenged, and analogical reasoning, often applied in child neuropsychology, is supported.
