WHY USE SPEECH PATHOLOGY SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY?

Computer-assisted speech therapy has been clinically proven as effective in an increasing number of studies.

The National Stroke Foundation Stroke Guidelines for Speech Pathology endorse the use of computer-based therapy programmes as an effective therapy strategy for patients with aphasia.

It is increasingly difficult to access enough Speech Pathology treatment.  Research into Intensity of Aphasia Therapy and Impact on Recovery has shown that in order to achieve optimal therapy outcomes, 8.8 hours per week, for an average of 11.2 weeks is required.  These computer programs can help to increase the hours of speech and language treatment through home practice or working with therapy assistants.
