With its combined auditory and
visual stimulation, this series of DVDs and accompanying booklets provides an
excellent practice format for patients with neuromuscular disorders. Patients
with apraxia or dysarthric type involvement find this series of exercises and
word/phrase drills of increasing complexity very beneficial. Both patients and
their families will appreciate the availability of this resource to be used at
home. The DVDs were designed to help improve the mobility, strength, and
coordination of the patient’s speech musculature. Although the production
section is lengthy, it is organized to provide many "mini" sessions. These tapes
promote independent practice between sessions and are an excellent resource for
a carryover program upon a patient’s discharge from therapy.
Booklets are available for individual purchase.
Words appear on screen as spoken. Booklet contains additional practice words. Includes
oral exercises with slow movement for the tongue, lips, and jaws. Word production
practice consists of 620 simple words of 25 phonemes and focuses on initial, medial,
and final positions.
