Summary

This trial aims to find a more affordable and accessible way to help individuals with post-stroke apraxia of speech (AOS) improve their speech. They want to create a computer-based program called

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with speech difficulties due to conditions like dyspraxia or apraxia, specifically those who have had a stroke. It's designed to help improve their speech production through regular practice and therapy.
What is being tested?
The study tests a computer-based program called MI-TEE, used at home alongside standard speech therapy. The goal is to see if adding MI-TEE helps people get better at speaking more than just therapy alone.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-invasive practices such as motor imagery and sound production exercises, no significant side effects are expected from participating in this trial.
