There is a significant need literature for a study comparing aphasic patients' performance in Turkish aphasia tests. The overall purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation of aphasic individuals' performances on Language Assessment Test for Aphasia, Ege Aphasia Test, and Gulhane Aphasia Test-2 and to perform a criterion validity study for ADD.
