Brief Summary

The study will invite 30 patients to join, and they will be arranged in the face to face group and telerehabilitation group randomly. In the telerehabilitation group, the investigators use the mobile device, which with the camera and speaker, for patients to practice the naming training at home, and assess the speech ability every 2-4weeks by speech therapist via telerehabilitation platform. Concise Chinese Aphasia Test (CCAT) and ASHA FACS conceptual framework Test will be used as the assessment tool for evaluation speech ability and functional ability.
