Aphasia is a disorder of language processing caused by a lesion in particular brain regions. Treatment aims at improving or restoring impaired function or at compensating for deficits. More recently, computer technology has been integrated into treatment options. In this study, a detailed and comprehensive computerized software program for aphasia rehabilitation is designed for the treatment of Arabic speaking Egyptian aphasic patients.~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.
