Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I am a speech/language pathologist who has used many sections of this book during therapy sessions. There are verbal expressive sections as well as written exercises. I have adapted sections to use in group therapy sessions. I find this book very useful and would recommend it to any working SLP or family member working at home with a person recovering from stroke and aphasia.
