Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a program that combines language and arm treatment can improve language and movement problems in people with chronic stroke. The mains questions it aims to answer are:

* To determine the extent to which this combined treatment can improve language.
* To determine the extent to which the combined treatment can improve arm movements.

Researchers will compare the effects of this combined treatment with treatment that targets arm movements alone.
