Boston Aphasia Severity Rating Scale
The Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination Severity Rating Scale (BDAE-SRS) is the gold-standard clinician-administered assessment of aphasia severity and type in adults following stroke or acquired brain injury. Developed by Goodglass, Kaplan, and colleagues (2001, third edition), BDAE provides comprehensive evaluation of language across 18 domains (auditory comprehension, oral expression, naming, repetition, reading, writing) and yields both an overall severity rating (0–5 scale) and a detailed profile classifying aphasia syndrome (Broca's, Wernicke's, conduction, global, etc.). BDAE is foundational to aphasia diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning.
