People with aphasia need motivating ways to fight social isolation and improve communication. Therapeutic aphasia games can address these needs by making practice more fun and engaging, especially in group contexts. This course reviews existing early-stage aphasia games research. It also describes aphasia rehabilitation and game design principles SLPs can use to develop and adapt their own therapeutic games.
