Features

Like all Bungalow programs, Aphasia Tutor 1 provides hints and feedback to help guide the patient to the right answer. Our approach is "Success with as little assistance as needed."  The goal is for the patient to do it as independently as possible.

• 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. E.g., if the answer was "Spoon" the hint would be "s_ _ _ _"

• Clear feedback for correct/incorrect answers.
• Use the mouse or keyboard
• Multiple difficulty levels

  beginning with multiple choice single-letters, all the way to fill-in-the-blank words. This program comes in three versions:  Standard (patient), Deluxe, and Professional.

• Spanish version

  Spanish version has the cues and answers in Spanish. Patient would pick a Spanish word for "orange" (naranjo) or type that in as the answer.

Deluxe Version Features

These features are available in the Deluxe and Pro versions of the program.

• Control the difficulty 

  Decide which hints are given.  You can select which hints are displayed (first letter of answer, etc.).  Showing the first letter of the answer is a great way to make the program easier. Set the number of choices displayed in multiple-choice mode (2,3, or 4 choices)

• Automatic progress-tracking saves you time

  Results of each session are saved, to a file.  You can print this or copy it into other documentation.  Limited to a single patient. For unlimited patients, see Pro version

• 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.Memory training
  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.

• Auditory comprehension Practice

  Program can speak a cue ("New York is called the big ____") and have the patient answer the question from hearing it.  Deluxe and Pro versions let you turn off the visual cue (text or picture) and have the audio cue played automatically.
  

"Aphasia Tutor's multiple difficulty levels and feedback ensure success...The patient never walks away from the program discouraged."
