摘要：In Brazil, cerebrovascular accident is one of the principal causes of mortality and morbidity, including the aphasias that affect approximately one-third of the patients who survive a vascular incident. The evaluation of communication is important in order to measure the impact of the aphasia on social relations and functionality of the individual. The perception that relatives have of aphasia is important to outline communication intervention programs. The Functional Questionnaire about the Evolution of Aphasia (QEF-A, Keterson et al., 2008) was created to obtain data about the caregiver, regarding the daily functioning of the individual with aphasia, and to assist in outlining programs of social inclusion, based on this partnership between therapists and relatives. The objective of the study is to observe the congruence of the responses given by the caregiver and therapist, relative to aphasie communication in the chronic phase.
