Abstract Title: The correlation between speech therapy and neuroscience from the perspective of a speech therapist

Biography:

Omar Ghaboura has completed his Bachelor’s Degree Phoenicia University in Speech Therapy from Lebanon. He is a master’s student at the University of Warwick majoring in Neuroscience and Psychology of Mental Health. He is currently working in Kuwait as a speech and language pathologist assessing and treating individuals with speech, language and communication disorders. Omar is interested in the Research Field and is currently working on publishing articles related to AAC and language acquisition in the Arab World.

Research Interest:

This study delves into the interplay between speech therapy and neuroscience, focusing on how advancements in neural science inform therapeutic approaches for speech and language disorders. Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize and adapt, plays a central role in language acquisition and speech regulation. Through the integration of neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques, clinicians and researchers can now better understand brain mechanisms underpinning these processes. The abstract highlights evidence from case studies and meta-analyses demonstrating the efficacy of targeted speech interventions in modifying neuroplasticity and restoring language functions. Additionally, it explores how speech therapy aids in neural reorganization post-injury, contributing to advancements in treating conditions such as aphasia and developmental speech delays. The correlation between therapeutic outcomes and neural adaptations underscores the potential for personalized therapy driven by neurological insights, paving the way for innovations in the field.
