The bachelor's thesis, whose main aim of the research is to analyse the subjectively perceived quality of life of people with post-stroke aphasia in selected areas, is divided into four main chapters. The first three chapters present theoretical findings on stroke and post-stroke communication disorders. The following topic is the presentation of the issue of quality of life.

The theoretical section presents the theory of the Snoezelen concept, the possibilities of its use, and relevant scientific studies that have been carried out.
