B. Using word-repetition drills
C. Teaching compensatory strategies

C. aphonia
D. memory

long-term.
Doing which of the following would likely yield the most useful information
about the effectiveness of an intervention strategy?
A. Reviewing the results of standardized assessment instruments

D. Requesting that a colleague reevaluate the client

determine whether intervention has succeeded.
