You have to try Apraxia Therapy to see how this powerful speech therapy app can help people with aphasia and apraxia speak more fluently.
Featuring the evidence-based method of speech entrainment using VAST video, this app helps users say familiar sequences, conversational phrases, and multi-syllabic words. Each repetition in the hierarchy is intended to train the brain to produce clear speech in a way that encourages independence, self-monitoring, and generalization.
App Features:
* 7 of the 110 ‘Phrases’ Videos-----Functional conversational statements and questions-----Range from 2 to 8 syllables in 7 levels-----Social greetings, basic needs, and everyday expressions
* 1 of the 5 ‘Sequences’ Videos-----Alphabet, Counting to 10, Days of the Week, Months of the Year, and Jack & Jill-----Longer length can be a good challenge for some users-----Familiar sequences can be easier for those who know them well
* 4 of the 60 ‘Long Words’ Videos-----Multi-syllable words from 2 to 5 syllables-----Ordered by stress pattern to focus on rhythm-----Perfect practice for those with more mild apraxia
Apraxia Therapy can help adults with acquired apraxia of speech and aphasia from stroke or brain injury to gain confidence in their speaking ability as they speak in time with a video model. Watching, listening, reading, tapping, and speaking in unison all combine to help those with limited to no spontaneous speaking ability to improve motor planning and speech fluency.
Therapeutic Steps:
1) Watch and listen to the video model to learn the sequence, word, or phrase2) Tap along with the model to activate the motor cortex and focus on rhythm3) Speak together with the model in unison, making use of mirror neurons4) Speak again as the audio fades out, using the video to keep speech going strong5) Speak alone with only visual support as the app automatically records you6) Listen to your recording and rate your performance for self-monitoring 7) Practice individual words or syllables to perfect the difficult ones
The recordings and self-ratings can be e-mailed at the end of each session to share with a therapist, family, or friends. Rate of speech can be adjusted to 3 different speeds at any time. All VAST videos are professionally recorded by SpeakinMotion.
Users love hearing themselves through this app. Those who are determined to get each word right really appreciate the word practice. People with limited speech can now record themselves saying “I love you” and send it to the people who matter most.
