Benefits
Boosts patient self
esteem
Unlimited self-paced speech therapy
practice.
Practical preparation for
"the real world"
Saves speech pathologists' time by automatically tracking
progress.
Like all Bungalow programs, Aphasia Tutor 1 provides
hints and feedback to help guide the patient to the right answer. Our approach is "Success with as little assistance as needed." The goal is for the patient to do it as independently as possible.
Hints
User can click on
the Hints button or press the <control> key on the keyboard to receive a hint in the
fill-in-the-blank levels. E.g., if the answer was "Spoon" the hint would be
"s_ _ _ _"
Clear feedback for correct/incorrect answers.
Use the mouse or keyboard
Multiple difficulty levels beginning with multiple choice
single-letters, all the way to fill-in-the-blank words.
Spanish version
Available in a Spanish version that has the cues and answers in Spanish. Patient would pick a Spanish word for
"orange" (naranjo) or type that in as the answer.
Deluxe Version Features
These features are available in the Deluxe and Pro versions of
the program.
Get more therapy with extra difficulty options. Show the first letter of the answer
or reduce the number of choices to make the program easier, or give
fewer hints to make it harder.
Motivate the patient by
showing them how well they're doing with automatic progress
tracking which saves the results of each session are saved, to a
file. You can print this or copy it into other documentation.
Limited to a single patient. For unlimited patients,

Pro version
Make faster progress
with repetition practice.
Repeat the first 20 questions 5 times, or
repeat as many questions as you like as many times as you like.
You can also control the length of the lesson without repetition,
such as having a 25 exercise lesson. (Bungalow programs have
so many exercises we've found that even one lesson can be too much
for a patient to do in one sitting.
Do memory training. You can
set the program to display the cue to display temporarily or until
they press any key. Then the cue disappears, and the question
appears.
+OutLoud version includes spoken cues and hints for extra help and improving Auditory Comprehension.
I can always tell when my husband has been using Sights and Sounds because his diction really improves."
Jayne Quigley, caregiver. From their story in the Stroke Connection magazine of the National Stroke Association
.
"Our results with the Aphasia Package are miraculous. We are seeing great results with clients who are using the software with care givers and volunteers as well as with certified speech pathologists. Thanks."
Judith Widmer, Palm Springs Stroke Activity Center, Palm Springs, Ca
"Your software is great, by the way. We're still working with it (6 months later), and still making progress.
It's a slow process to rebuild a vocabulary, but we refuse to give up, and your software has helped tremendously."
Pro version has all the features of the Deluxe (above) plus it:
Tracks progress for each patient
Makes paperwork a breeze!
You just open the patient's Bungalow file and paste in their
scores (results) from several sessions to demonstrate progress
during therapy.
Automatically remembers settings for each patient
So, when Mr.
Jones comes back in for his next visit, you just select Mr. Jones
and the program remembers how he did last time, what lesson he was
using, and what settings you used for him.
