In a client with expressive aphasia, which of the following interventions would be appropriate for effective communication?

Encouraging gesturing and drawing is an effective intervention for clients with expressive aphasia because it provides alternative means of communication. Clients may struggle to find the right words or to form sentences but can often convey their thoughts and feelings through gestures or visual aids. This method taps into non-verbal communication skills, allowing clients to express themselves and engage in interaction despite their verbal difficulties.

Using gestures or drawing can help bridge the gap created by their language impairment, facilitating understanding and allowing for more fluid communication. This approach also promotes engagement and encourages the client to participate actively in conversations, rather than feeling frustrated or isolated due to their condition.

While the other options may offer some level of support or communication, they generally do not cater to the unique needs of someone with expressive aphasia as effectively as encouraging gesturing and drawing does.
