Now in its Second Edition, this clinically proven manual offers practice materials for stimulating speech and language recall in brain-injured patients. New articulation and math exercises have been added as have higher level reading materials for mildly impaired patients. Throughout the book, materials have been redeveloped and expanded to increase their effectiveness. Large print and easily readable type facilitate learning and help those with reduced visual acuity. Five main sections provide illustrations and developmental exercises in speech comprehension, imitative ability and articulation, vocabulary and syntax, reading and money skills, and writing skills. Each section progresses from the simple to the complex; exercises are included for patients whose impairments range from mild to severe. The directions for applying the exercises are written in nontechnical language so they can be used by family members as well as by speech pathologists. Discussions of recovery time and of the limits of improvement are included, as is a list of suggested readings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book is a wonderful idea and it meets a heretofore unmet need. It derives from a particularly interesting database, since it deals with aphasia in aphasic people's own language...It is strongly recommended.'' Professor Audrey Holland, Department of Speech Pathology, University of Arizona, USA This book is about living with aphasia - a language impairment which can result from stroke. Drawing on in-depth interviews with fifty aphasic people, it explores the experience of aphasia from the dramatic onset of stroke and loss of language to the gradual revelation of its long-term consequences. The story is told from the perspective of aphasic people themselves. They describe the impact of aphasia upon their employment, education, leisure activities, finances, personal relationships and identity. They describe their changing needs and how well these have been met by health, social care and other services. They talk about what aphasia means to them, the barriers encountered in everyday life and how they cope. The book offers a unique insight into the struggle of living with aphasia, combining startlingly unusual language with a clear interlinking text.

Download or read book Collaborative capacity development to complement stroke rehabilitation in Africa written by Quinette Louw and published by AOSIS. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly book focuses on stroke in Africa. Stroke is a leading cause of disability among adults of all ages, contributing significantly to health care costs related to long term implications, particularly if rehabilitation is sub-optimal. Given the burden of stroke in Africa, there is a need for a book that focuses on functioning African stroke survivors and the implications for rehabilitation within the African context. In addition, there is a need to progress with contextualised, person-centred, evidence-based guidance for the rehabilitation of people with stroke in Africa, thereby enabling them to lead socially and economically meaningful lives. The research incorporated in the book used a range of primary and secondary methodological approaches (scoping reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, descriptive studies, surveys, health economics, and clinical practice guideline methodology) to shed new insights into African-centred issues and strategies to optimise function post-stroke.

Book excerpt: An Incredible Journey of Determination and Recovery In 2005, Ted W. Baxter was at the top of his game. He was a successful, globe-trotting businessman with a resume that would impress the best of the best. In peak physical condition, Ted worked out nearly every day of the week. And then, on April 21, 2005, all that came to an end. He had a massive ischemic stroke. Doctors feared he wouldn’t make it, or if he did make it, he would be in a vegetative state in a hospital bed for the rest of his life. But miraculously, that’s not what happened . . . In Relentless, Ted W. Baxter describes his remarkable recovery. Not only did he live, but he's walking and talking again. He moves through life almost as easily as he did before the stroke; only now, his life is better. He’s learned that having a successful career is maybe not the most important thing. He’s learned to appreciate life more. He's learned that he wants to help people—and that’s what he does. He gives back, volunteering his time and effort to help other stroke victims. Relentless is a wonderful resource for stroke survivors, caregivers, and their loved ones, but it is also an inspiring and motivating read for anyone who is facing struggles in their own life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Mike Dow is a best-selling author, psychotherapist, and relationship expert. So why is he writing a book about stroke? Well, what you probably don’t know about Dr. Mike is that his younger brother, David, is a stroke survivor. What’s more, David’s stroke happened when he only 10 years old. This means most of Dr. Mike’s teenage years were spent witnessing what his family was dealing with trying to find the best treatments for David. He struggled to know what to do to help his brother. He watched helplessly as his brother wrestled with depression, trying to find the motivation to recover on top of the challenges of adolescence. He mourned the loss of what could have been —and he was angry. How his family would have loved to sit down with top experts in stroke to find out what they should be doing and have their questions answered. Now Dr. Mike has the ability to do just that, and he’s doing it so that others in his family’s position don’t have the same struggle. Armed with questions from stroke survivors and their loved ones, Dr. Mike talks with the best clinicians across the country to get over 100 answers you need to know to maximize your recovery.

Book excerpt: "Transformative...[Taylor's] experience...will shatter [your] own perception of the world."—ABC News The astonishing New York Times bestseller that chronicles how a brain scientist's own stroke led to enlightenment On December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven- year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist experienced a massive stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain. As she observed her mind deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life-all within four hours-Taylor alternated between the euphoria of the intuitive and kinesthetic right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace, and the logical, sequential left brain, which recognized she was having a stroke and enabled her to seek help before she was completely lost. It would take her eight years to fully recover. For Taylor, her stroke was a blessing and a revelation. It taught her that by "stepping to the right" of our left brains, we can uncover feelings of well-being that are often sidelined by "brain chatter." Reaching wide audiences through her talk at the Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) conference and her appearance on Oprah's online Soul Series, Taylor provides a valuable recovery guide for those touched by brain injury and an inspiring testimony that inner peace is accessible to anyone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This voice-driven, narrative, non-fiction book relays the stories of seven courageous women whose lives have been greatly impacted by a loved one’s stroke, resulting in loss of language ability to one degree or another. Aphasia leads to varying degrees of problems in speaking, understanding, reading, writing, gesturing, and using numbers. Aphasia can be extremely stressful for both the individual who had the stroke and for their family and friends. Speech is such a significant part of human interaction, and it’s something that most people take for granted. It’s hard to be able to communicate if you’ve been dependent upon verbal communication and yours is suddenly impaired. Fortunately, some recovery from aphasia is possible, and there are still ways to effectively communicate, even with aphasia. The stories contained in the book are intended to help others feel less alone as they navigate their loss and the confusing healthcare system. The stories are told from the advent of a stroke of their loved-ones and describe how these caretakers persevered to find quality medical services and to provide home care. Caring For a Loved One with Aphasia After Stroke is written for people who are going through a similar crisis, or for those in the medical and/or speech/language field who are interested to learn more about perseverance and hope that are critical to aphasia.

Download or read book My Stroke written by Donald F. Weinstein Ph D and published by Donald Weinstein. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers of My Stroke by Dr. Weinstein will follow, step by step, his recovery from an Embolic Cerebrovascular Accident with Severe Aphasia. After his Stroke, he couldn't speak, read, write, sing or do arithmetic. This book takes a look at what goes into the spirit and soul of one stroke aphasia victim and survivor, the nuances that are not spoken about in cursory workshops and never detailed in lectures; a difficult journey with emotional highs and lows, anger and fear, issues of dignity and humiliation. He discusses shifting roles within the family, neuropsychological reports with throbbing pain and accomplishments. He details struggles to relearn reading, writing, speaking, singing, mathematics, interview skill strategies. He lets you feel the accomplishments of achieving a sound, a letter, a word, a simple sentence, and compensatory strategies, which are huge for a person with severe aphasia. Fifteen months later he was able to read a classic novel, very slowly, a solitary action, word by word, reading aloud slowly very slowly. He wrote a professional report, tediously, at a snail's pace, finding computer keys one letter at a time, trying to write a sentence, a paragraph and finally a page. He shares the emotions of singing at a Passover Seder, the melodies in his genes, but not easily retrieved from his brain. Hebrew words that were lost in his head do to his aphasia, but the brain has the incredible capability to modify itself, to form new connections between brain neurons and find what was lost. He found some of his fluency with Spanish on a vacation trip to Puerto Rico. Yet he was not "whole' but he continues to grow each day. Dr. Weinstein's forceful journey back from severe aphasia was moving. His accounts wrestle with discussions that every graduate school aphasia class needs to read and thrash out, knowing that the effects of aphasia vary from person to person. Even speech therapists will gain insight into what it is like to live with aphasia on a daily basis. He writes in depth about his experience with speech therapy and the exercises which helped him. Aphasiacs and their caregivers will share the difficult road back as they go from aphasia victim to aphasia survivor. Each chapter provides a check list for stroke survivors, and their spouses, family and friends, to help them deal more effectively with the consequences of stroke and aphasia. Weinstein's grasp of himself and others are very powerful and send a message of hope; he discovered how to live with aphasia. His "come back" from severe aphasia was dependent on himself, his drive, effort, ability and hard work to persevere over frustration and also the love and devotion of his family, the guidance and support of his speech-language pathologist and all the staff at the rehabilitation center, other doctors and nurses and the cheering from the sidelines of special friends; in other words, his community, each with unique qualities that Weinstein needed and required. But neither Weinstein nor the wonderful cast of characters, the protagonists, of Weinstein's story, knew what their roles were precisely other then caring. These caregivers, Weinstein's wife, son and daughter-in-law, and granddaughters, professionals, family and friends are seen in the vignettes that are integrated through this book; if you look closely you might see yourself in your mind's eye. There are streams of consciousness and free flow thoughts wrapped throughout each chapter. These allow you, the stroke victim and the spouse, to see the way that real life intermixes with both of you. The idea is that you may see something that is important to you that you didn't think about before and it may help you. The watchwords for this book are "frank," "inspirational" and "hope"; these are the unspoken words of many aphasiacs some who are not able to talk and express their thoughts. Dr. Weinstein talks for them.
