Aphasia Treatment Aphasia Therapy Speech Reading Comprehension
Aphasia Tutor (AT) program series
Aphasia Tutor is a series of programs (AT series)
that improve Speech, word-retrieval, reading and
writing.
These programs were specially designed for those who have
had a brain injury (such as a stroke) which impairs the
language center of the brain.
The exercises are organized in increasing difficulty,
beginning with letters, then words, sentences, paragraphs and
stories. Each program targets a different skill area or
skill level, and each contain many different lessons at
different difficulty levels. For information on each
program, click on one of the links to the right.
Multiple programs can be used at one time.
You can purchase purchase individual modules (programs) or
save money by buying a package of programs.
Typical Usage
These programs provide interactive
personal speech/language practice for patients suffering from
CVA, TBI, CHI., or exhibiting aphasia symptoms. With multiple
difficulty levels, multimedia feedback, and "hints", Aphasia
Tutor provides exercises which are challenging and feedback
that teaches and encourages. |

Why these programs are so effective
All Bungalow programs are designed to be used independently by
the patient at home (or in therapy). This independence allows
the patient to work at their own speed, gain confidence, motivation
and empowerment as they participate fully in their recovery. This is
accomplished through the following unique features designed by
Bungalow's speech therapist....
- Hints - User can click on the Hints button or press the
<control> key on the keyboard to receive a hint in the
fill-in-the-blank levels. (
- Clear, multimedia cueing for correct/incorrect
answers. Provides motivating feedback on a correct
answer.
- Challenge without failure. Like physical
exercise, you want to work up a "mental sweat" but not pull a
mental muscle. This program provides a variety of difficulty
levels and never leaves the user confused. If a question is
missed, the program allows additional tries and makes the question
easier. So, a fill-in-the blank question is asked.
User gets some letters wrong. Program shows which were right
and gives another chance to answer. User gets it wrong
again. Program defaults to multiple choice and lets the user
try again. User still misses the question. Program
lets user know what the correct answer was by blinking the correct
answer.
There are also advantages for clinicians, such as saving
time and providing an extra service (free demo disks) to
patients.
