Types of Aphasia Chart and Classification Tool Using WAB Scores: The Aphasia Classification Tool takes your raw WAB scores – Fluency, Auditory Verbal Comprehension, Repetition, Naming & Word Finding, and instantly returns the most likely aphasia subtype. It’s designed for desktop and mobile use, so you can bring it into the clinic or even use it at the bedside.
