Simulated In-Home Teletreatment for Anomia

This pilot study explored the feasibility of in-home teletreatment for patients with post-stroke anomia.

They received 12 speech therapy teletreatments (two sessions/week for 6 weeks) aimed at improving confrontation naming skills. Half of the failed items from a set ...
