Speech-Generating Devices in Speech Recovery

I've written here before about the importance of speech-generating devices for persons with aphasia, however, new research suggests that not only are they good for generating speech, but they can actually help in speech recovery. It seems that speech-generating devices can also be useful as a form of therapy because just hearing the words that you want to articulate and repeating them can be very helpful in reacquiring speech after aphasia resulting from a stroke. Another main reason that speech-generating devices can be helpful for your patients is that they are getting increasingly easy to use. In this environment, when everything is getting more technological, there are advances to make technology easier to use for people who may not be used to it. Certain companies not only make easy to use speech-generating devices, but they also offer technical support if your patent has any questions that they need answered. Some can even dial into your patients' speech-generating device to literally show your patient what to click on and how they do what they need to do. I've heard of this one company that's supposed to be really good. Check them out:
