Providing access to speech and language treatment to individuals with primary progressive aphasia in Italy

Global Brain Health Institute, Alzheimer’s Association
PI: Petronilla Battista

The aim of this project is to develop a web-based platform to deliver a tailored speech and language intervention to patients with Primary Progressive Aphasia across Italy. Each patient will undergo a 5-week remote therapy along with cognitive/language assessments pre, and post-therapy and at 6-12- month follow-ups. We will evaluate functional Communication Abilities in Daily Living and the feasibility of remote therapy, including for patients that would otherwise not have access to a rehabilitation service.
