Exploring the Effectiveness of Cognitive Skills Training in Broca's Aphasia: A Single-Case Analysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract
This case study explores the rehabilitation of a 34-year-old female with Broca's aphasia and right hemiplegia after tumour excision. Assessments showed moderate aphasia and mild cognitive impairment. Over 80 therapy sessions combining phonemic cueing, semantic feature analysis, and cognitive training with the Lumosity app led to improvements in speech and cognitive function. A multidisciplinary team facilitated recovery. The study suggests that integrating technology with traditional therapy can support language and cognitive recovery, though further research is needed.
