Feedback from a 21 year old young stroke client
Hi- I am a SLT using Tactus apps in my practice, and I recommend them to my clients all the time. Here is an excerpt from the story written by a young man who had a stroke whilst at university and suffered from apraxia:- “Elizabeth recommended to us that we buy an iPad that would be used coherently in her sessions and home as well. This turned out to be one of the best things for my recovery. In the first session she’s showed me different apps I could download and use at home with my family. These apps were very useful and involved several features that would help with my speech, language and typing. One of the best apps involved lots of long words and phrases accompanied by a human mouth that would repeat the lips movements slowly for me to copy. As I said before, I had 6 sessions within the two weeks with Elizabeth and it was during this time I made remarkable progress. The key thing was breaking down words into their different sounds, allowing me to repeat each sound slowly until I got it right. The apps were a great help. All the work I did with Elizabeth I took home to practice again with my family. My mum and sister took a particular liking in participating in the sessions. They became my very own home speech therapists and enjoyed helping me at home.”
