Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
As a family member of a stroke survivor who is dealing with expressive Aphasia, I found this book to be extremely helpful. It is written in easily understandable language, and organized in an order that is simple to follow. Yet there is nothing lacking in terms of practical and useful materials and exercises that will aid in the recovery process.
Not only are oral speech and language abilities addressed, but also writing ability and reading comprehension. This text also includes materials that will aid in rebuilding skills related to money, math and telling time. Exercises are all provided in bold, large print... making them very easy for family members and patients to read and use.
It is an unfortunate fact that many insurance companies refuse to pay for ongoing, intensive speech and language therapy for stroke survivors (beyond the first few weeks). After that time, many survivors receive only a minimal amount of S&L therapy, unless their family members willingly step in to assist. While it is definitely preferable to have post-stroke aphasia therapy outlined and over-seen by an actual SLP... this book provides the necessary guidance and materials that will allow families to supplement and continue forward with their loved one's therapy and recovery.
