Aim of the study: design a computerized software program for the rehabilitation of Arabic speaking Egyptian aphasic patients.
Subjects: The study was conducted on 50 patients with aphasia who attend the unit of Phoniatrics during the period of one year, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Alexandria Main University Hospitals.
Methodology: The training materials were designed as a software program. Each patient was subjected to assessment before and after the application of the rehabilitation program. Patients were randomized into two groups: group I who received therapy using the software aphasia rehabilitation program and group II who received conventional (traditional) language therapy. Therapy continued for 48 sessions over six months.
