Monia Molino

Monia Molino is a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Speech and Language Therapy at the University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom, and serves as a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist for NHS FORTH VALLEY since November 2020. Her work directly contributes to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals related to health and wellbeing, focusing on clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Her research centers on aphasia rehabilitation, particularly intensive comprehensive aphasia programmes (ICAP) and their impact on language recovery, functional communication, and quality of life for chronic aphasia patients. She pioneers innovative clinical education models like peer-assisted learning to solve systemic placement shortages for speech and language therapy students, addressing critical workforce development challenges in healthcare education.

Recent 2025 publications demonstrate dual thematic focus: rigorous evaluation of ICAP interventions for neurological communication disorders and scalable solutions for clinical training infrastructure. Both works integrate patient-centered outcomes with educational innovation, reflecting her commitment to bridging clinical practice and academic training.
