Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I cannot praise this book enough. The author explains what to expect, at every point of disability and recovery, for both patient and caregiver. Using non-technical language, he explains the causes of aphasia and the several manifestations of the disorder. He provides many strategies for helping the aphasic function as fully as possible, and he reassures the reader that aphasics have not lost their basic intelligence--only the ability to communicate effectively. This is information that most doctors do not take the time to convey to patients and caregivers. What we fully understand is not nearly so frightening or frustrating. Thank you, Jon Lyon!
