Stroke Family aphasia recovery tools utilize specific techniques based on the brain research that shows that the other side of the brain can reconnect speech--that the brain can be "reprogrammed" to use untapped speech areas. Using the kinethetic-tactile sensory neuro-pathways that come from the hand, our technique breaksthrough speech barriers. Our tools give you effective, motivating ways to make new pathways in the brain to unlock speech.
The Whole Speech Practice Kit has talking software, tracing sheets, "touch" card games and activities that are so easy to use speech rehabilitation can even happen at home.
The difference between what we do and other programs is how the sense of touch is integrated into every activity. Combined with the use of the most frequently spoken words and conversational words, the method and materials take most of the frustration out of getting speech back. We have proved that speech recovery is still possible using the Sensory Trigger Method and that the time frame for recovery is up to two years and beyond--not six months. This is why we have had so much success, even with "untreatable" cases of aphasia.
A recent study showed that "Intensive Speech Therapy" programs are 85% more effective than 1 or 2 times a week therapy sessions. Yet these programs are hard to find and are expensive. With Stroke Family Kits, families and therapists now have a way to provide intensive speech recovery programs, even when time with the patient is severely limited by insurance cut-offs or medicare limitations. Our family friendly programs and materials bring everyone together. It is also now known that social and family interaction can make the difference between a person who stops progressing in speech therapy and one who continues to recover speech for years afterward. Informal, go-at-your-own-pace speech practice really works. Professionally evaluated and Clinically tested
With over 30 years of making breakthrough speech recoveries, I'll be happy to help you!
