VASES: Visual Analogue Self-Esteem Scale

The classic self-esteem measure for people with communication impairment now updated and re-launched on CD Rom.

This tried-and-tested resource is the first self-esteem rating scale designed specifically for the aphasic speaker. It can also be used with people with other acquired communication impairments, such as dysarthric speakers, and with learning disabled adults.

• Provides an opportunity to discuss the patient's feelings by providing a series of pictures which form a point for discussion.
• Short and easy to administer.
• Provides an overall idea of how the person views themselves and can be used as an outcome measure.
• The test results can be recorded on the CD Rom and displayed to clearly show any changes in the patient's feelings over a period of time.

Updated and re-launched with an interactive CD Rom, this is a vital resource for understanding and addressing the impact acquired language impairment has on self-esteem and the loss of self and identity.
