Essential to any type of script training is the development of a script that is relevant to the person with aphasia and appropriate for the severity of his or her aphasia. Script development is best done as a collaborative process together with the person with aphasia. However, writing an individualized script for each person is time-consuming, and in the current climate of limited insurance benefits, such an approach may not even be possible. As an alternative, using a standard script for everyone may be cost-efficient, and may still impart some of the same benefits as a customized script. However, if the same script is given to all people with aphasia, and that script is at a single level of difficulty, those who are more severe or those who are too mild may not benefit. The script may be too difficult for those with a severe aphasia and too simple for those with a mild aphasia.
