Summary
This study tested a program where 17 adults with aphasia (a language problem often caused by stroke) learned to train dogs using positive reinforcement. The goal was to see if working with dogs could help them feel more confident, engaged, and improve their quality of life. Participants practiced basic obedience cues with family or shelter dogs, and researchers measured changes in confidence and communication skills.
