Testing a brain-focused speech therapy method after stroke

This trial is testing a new speech therapy approach called PICTURE IT, which is designed to help people who have lost speech ability after a stroke. The study compares PICTURE IT to a computer-based therapy that focuses on naming words, to see which one helps people communicate better. All participants will try both treatments in a random order to see which works best for them.

Many people lose the ability to speak clearly after a stroke, and current treatments don't work well for everyone. This trial is exploring whether the new treatment—which uses a different part of the brain than standard therapy—might help people recover better communication skills.
