Interventions

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulationdevice

The tDCS treatments will be applied bilaterally, with the anodal electrode placed on the left temple and the cathodal electrode placed on the right temple. The tDCS will be applied at the beginning of 60-minute speech-language treatment sessions for five days across a one-week period.

Sham Stimulationdevice

The sham tDCS will be applied at the beginning of 60-minute speech-language treatment sessions for five days across a one-week period.
