Abstract
Although play and game-based therapy is widely used in language intervention for children, games are an emerging therapeutic treatment used in speech therapy for adults (National Literacy Trust, 2024). Post-stroke aphasia is a language disorder that impacts an individual’s communication in expressive speech and receptive comprehension based on the location of their stroke (Johns Hopkins Medicine, 2022). The current study investigates the effectiveness of game- and play-based therapy for adults with aphasia. A systematized review yielded ten peer-reviewed studies that met the inclusion criteria. Studies were analyzed according to participant characteristics, game modification, level of control, outcomes, and effectiveness. The combination of group control studies and single-subject designs demonstrates that incorporating language games can have positive impacts on expressive language post-stroke. By maximizing the impact of expressive language intervention, play and game-based therapy can potentially improve outcomes for clients with post-stroke aphasia.
