If the patient also need to watch someone's mouth moving in order to repeat words back clearly (due to severe apraxia, articulation difficulty, etc.) try our apraxia software program Speech Sounds On Cue, which shows them video of how to move their lips and tongue.
Additional Clinical Info
This aphasia & apraxia software is helpful for word-retrieval due to anomia (expressive aphasia), in which the patient has difficulty naming objects or retrieving words. So, if you show them pictures of objects, they have difficulty verbally naming the object. It's particularly effective for fluent aphasia (also called Wernicke's Aphasia), in which the patient can speak, but much of that speech is in appropriate. So if you show them a baseball and ask "what is it" they might respond "round...you throw...you know...the catcher..."
