By Stephanie Stryker, Private Practice, Miami Beach, Florida. With a Foreword by Jon Eisenson. Now in its Second Edition, this clinically proven manual offers practice materials for stimulating speech and language recall in brain-injured patients. New articulation and math exercises have been added as have higher level reading materials for mildly impaired patients. Throughout the book, materials have been redeveloped and expanded to increase their effectiveness. Large print and easily readable type facilitate learning and help those with reduced visual acuity. Five main sections provide illustrations and developmental exercises in speech comprehension, imitative ability and articulation, vocabulary and syntax, reading and money skills, and writing skills. Each section progresses from the simple to the complex; exercises are included for patients whose impairments range from mild to severe. The directions for applying the exercises are written in nontechnical language so they can be used by family members as well as by speech pathologists. Discussions of recovery time and of the limits of improvement are included, as is a list of suggested readings.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Collection of Materials & Exercises!,
This review is from: Speech After Stroke: A Manual for the Speech Pathologist and the Family Member (Plastic Comb)
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.
