PICTURE IT: Producing Increasingly Complex Themes Using Righthemisphere Engagement Implemented with Telemedicine

Over two million people in the US who have survived stroke continue to struggle with everyday communication because of residual language difficulties, or aphasia. Language therapy is often effective in aiding language recovery after stroke. However, many hours of language intervention are required to demonstrate an effect, and most insurance providers do not cover an adequate number of treatment sessions.

In this project, we will investigate which of two behavioral language interventions for people with aphasia due to stroke is more effective.


Recruitment

We are actively enrolling participants with aphasia who are still experiencing symptoms after 30 days.
