Which programs
are best for my situation?
Everyone's situation is special, so Bungalow Software provides
two options to
help you find the right programs:
- Bungalow's Therapy
Package includes a free initial consultation to help pick out the right programs, and
it includes a free follow-up training session to teach you how to use these programs.

I can't download the free
demo. How can I get the software?
Not everyone is an internet whiz.
So, we offer the trial versions on the Bungalow Software
Trial CD-ROM.

How can an aphasic person
use a computer if they
cannot talk (or read or
write)?
This software is specially designed by a
speech therapist for use by those with aphasia. All of the programs can be used by
pressing just a few keys on the keyboard. You could even color-code those keys if
needed. In fact, one of the programs requires only the pressing of a single key.
I don't have an appropriate
computer. How do I use the programs?
The programs do require a Windows PC
computer. However, we do have an economical Therapy PC package which
includes
a computer.

No special training is required.
Someone should work with the patient (survivor) to get them started. However,
the programs are very easy to use.
For the computer novice, we have the
Therapy PC (includes a PC and therapy
software). This includes over-the-phone training and
consultation. Your personal consultant will familiarize you with the programs and
how to make maximum use of those programs. Many people with no computer experience have
used these computers with great success.

No. It's never too late for speech
therapy. While much recovery occurs immediately after a stroke, etc., it is never
too late to receive benefit from computer-assisted speech therapy. In fact,
one study included subjects who were
15 years post-stroke. The study concluded that "...
language function can be broadly, positively, and
significantly
influenced by computer-based language therapy in
chronic aphasia"
It's never
too late.

Can I pay monthly (for

Questions About My Computer
Computer Requirements
Short Answer:
Nearly any Windows PC computers
made since 2002 will run our programs. If you're not sure, try
them out with our trial CD. Trials are
identical to the full version, only time limited. So if the trial works,
so will the full program. You can also buy
programs with our Money Back Guarantee.
Detailed Answer (for computer geeks)
- Windows: 7, 8, 10 or 11.
If your computer
has a Start button in the lower left comer, and it was new in 2000 or
later then you've got one of those versions. There are
several options for your Macintosh.
If you have an older computer with Windows 95 or Windows 98 (which are 9 to
14 years old) you can still run all the programs except for Sights'n Sounds
2, Speech Sounds On Cue, and Sentence Shaper
- Sound Card
If your PC ever plays music
(even just at start up) it has a sound card. If it has external
speakers, it probably has a sound card. Speakers plug into the sound
card.
-
CD-ROM drive
- Microphone
Required only for programs that record speech (Sights'n Sounds, Numbers'n
Sounds, and SpeechPrism) These are inexpensive.
You can buy them for $9.50
- Screen that can display 256 or more colors.
- 160 MB Hard Drive space (if you're installing all
23 programs).
Most programs need about 10-20MB of storage. Typical low end PCs have 60,000
MB of storage so this usually isn't a problem.
