Abstract
This study explores modern interventions for the rehabilitation of aphasia, a speech disorder caused by brain damage that affects language comprehension and production. It evaluates the effectiveness of combining traditional speech therapy with neuropsychological techniques and digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving 50 patients with various types of aphasia. Participants were divided into three groups based on therapy type: traditional, technological, and combined. The results demonstrated that multimodal and individualized therapies significantly improve speech restoration outcomes. Therapies incorporating transcranial magnetic stimulation and AI-based applications led to faster recovery and better word retention. The study highlights the critical role of neuroplasticity in speech rehabilitation and emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving speech therapists, neurologists, and technology specialists. These findings suggest that integrating neuroscience and technology into therapy can enhance the recovery process for individuals with aphasia.
