Aphasia, a communication disorder often resulting from him brain injury such as stroke, impacts an individual's ability to understand or produce language. It can manifest in various forms, such as difficulties with speaking, writing, reading, and comprehension, which severely impair daily functioning and quality of life. For adults with aphasia, regaining communication skills is often a critical aspect of rehabilitation, demanding a combination of therapeutic strategies. The Promoting Aphasics' Communicative Effectiveness (PACE) technique is a widely recognized approach to improve communication in individuals with aphasia. Developed in the late 20th century, the PACE technique focuses on naturalistic communication, encouraging patients to utilize any available communicative means verbal or non-verbal to convey messages effectively. By simulating real-world conversational scenarios in therapy, PACE aims to enhance both expressive and receptive communication skills, thereby facilitating better interaction in social contexts. This approach is especially beneficial for individuals with severe expressive language impairments, as it emphasizes the overall success of communication rather than linguistic accuracy. A descriptive experimental research design was followed in the present study to explore the effect of PACE technique in adults with Aphasia. The study will be conducted at DHQ Faisalabad. The Duration of study is relied on 16 sessions. Three sessions will be conducted per week and the duration of a session is about forty minutes. Sample size (N=16) (Control group =8, Experimental group=8). Patients who were identified with mile to moderate level of Aphasia are age of 45 to 65 years old. Group A will be an experimental group (who will receive both Conventional and Promoting Aphasic Communicative Effectiveness technique). Group B will be a controlled group (who will receive just Conventional Therapy). A randomized Clinical trial will employ to collect data from participants approach at DHQ Faisalabad.
