Abstract
In aphasia speech therapy, it is important to stimulate brain to reorganize involved functions. However, aphasic syndrome includes various symptoms which should be not only stimulated, but also be inhibited (such as jargon, perseveration, and so on). The purpose of speech therapy is to achieve the improvement of linguistic competence and communication skills. To aim to reorganize brain functions and to improve communications skills of aphasics', speech therapists would be required to compose flexibe and smart interactive communications with aphasics. That is, appropriate “stimulation (or inhibition)-reaction” might bring effectiveness of speech therapy.
