Abstract


This study explores modern interventions for aphasia rehabilitation, evaluating the integration of traditional speech therapy with neuropsychological techniques and digital technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR). Employing a mixed-methods approach, 50 patients with varying aphasia types were divided into traditional, technological, and combined therapy groups. Results indicate that multimodal, individualized therapies can enhance speech restoration. Specifically, combining transcranial magnetic stimulation and AI applications accelerated recovery and improved word retention. The findings underscore neuroplasticity's crucial role in rehabilitation and emphasize the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach involving speech therapists, neurologists, and technology experts. Integrating neuroscience with advanced technology may improve the recovery process for aphasic individuals.
