Free Naming Practice for Aphasia

Naming practice is where most people with aphasia start. You see a picture of an everyday thing — coffee, keys, a dog — and say, tap, or type its name. Word-finding is the most common challenge in aphasia, and picture naming is the classic way to practice it.

This exercise is built on confrontation naming with a cueing hierarchy, an evidence-based approach speech-language pathologists use in the clinic. Stuck on a word? Tap Hint and work up a ladder of cues instead of giving up. Choose Match, Speak, or Type, pick topics from your real life, and move through four difficulty levels at your own pace.

It is free, it works in your browser, and there is nothing to download. Research says practice hours matter — see how many hours of practice research recommends. When naming feels steady, try listening practice or building sentences.
