Click the paper, right, to read a summary of comprehensive meta-analysis of reviews, for instance, from 2021.

‘To evaluate effectiveness or non-inferiority of telerehabilitation for people with aphasia when compared to conventional face-to-face speech and language therapy, five electronic databases (PUBMED, EMBASE, WEB OF SCIENCE, SCOPUS and the Cochrane Library) were searched’.

‘Out of a total of 1157 records, results revealed that telerehabilitation and face-to-face speech and language treatment are comparable… with respect to the gains achieved in auditory comprehension, naming accuracy, aphasia quotient, generalization and functional communication skills’.

Importantly, ‘The analysis of the results suggest that telerehabilitation training for aphasia seems to be as effective as the conventional face-to-face treatment’.

This is why, after so many hundreds of requests over the years, ARNI has added SLT to its service list.

You get a one to one hourly service, based around your diary needs, from the comfort of your own home, with a highly experienced specialist speech and language therapist who costs just £53 an hour, available ONLY by registering with Stroke Solutions, So you’re not paying for a clinic’s overheads or a therapist’s petrol.
