The TactusTherapy app suite provides methods of not only testing where the patient is in terms of improvement of their impairments following a stroke, but it also provides a means of training them on specific impairments based on the data recorded with each use. These apps allow for constant improvement through at-home rehabilitation opportunities, the opportunity to track the users progress, quick and immediate feedback on their performance, and self-paced difficulty adjustments.
*There are also different app options for varying levels of impairment from mild to severe*
TactusTherapy
Provides a range of resources that have proven to be affective in the rehabilitation process. These resources center around speech comprehension and formation therapy, providing interactive help to stroke survivors to use on their own or with another, such as a caretaker.
The TactusTherapy website provides an overview of the apps they offer and give interactive tours on how to use the applications they have created which are tailored specifically to those that have had a stroke and experience aphasia or other forms of cognitive impairment following their stroke such as:
Memory loss
Naming troubles
Reading, writing, and speaking impairment
Left neglect: A specific lack of attention or spatial awareness on one side of the visual field following a stroke
Number processing impairment
And more!
Text-to-Speech Software
Lingraphica
Lingraphica is just one example of companies designed to support the communication needs of those with aphasia. They provide devices that work to bridge the gap between people with limited communication skills as a result of aphasia and those with uninhibited communication skills. Text-to-speech resources have been found to be significant tools for individuals with communication impairments. Some users of text-to-speech devices have even stated that they feel these types of devices could replace their speech therapy.
