STUDY BASICS
Do you have a family member who has aphasia following a stroke? Aphasia makes it hard for people to read, write, and say what they mean. Eligible participants for this study have difficulty with “word finding” (difficulty naming pictures or coming up with specific words). This study is testing a new word-finding aphasia treatment study using iPad flashcard software. Compensation is provided.
