This program was developed based on a program originally
developed by Dr. Richard Katz, who has designed numerous programs
for aphasia, and published many studies on the effectiveness of computer-assisted aphasia software.
Pro version Features
These features are available in the Professional
version of the program.
- Save time with automatic progress-tracking. Results of
each session are saved, by client, to a file. You can print
this or copy it into other documentation.
- Automatically remembers settings for each patient
So, when
Mr. Jones comes back in for his next visit, you just select Mr.
Jones and the program remembers how he did last time, what lesson
he was using, and what settings you used for him.
- Repetition Practice
Repeat the first 20 questions 5 times,
or repeat as many questions as you like as many times as you
like. You can also control the length of the lesson without
repetition, such as having a 25 exercise lesson. (Bungalow
programs have so many exercises we've found that even one lesson
can be too much for a patient to do in one sitting.
- Improve Memory
You can set the program to display the cue
to display temporarily or until they press any key. Then the
cue disappears, and the question appears.
