This book is the first book in the Foods series that was created
for my father who has Aphasia. While working with my father on his
Speech Therapy homework I realized how difficult it was for him to
identify the hand drawn black and white pictures that were
presented to him on his work sheets. I tried workbooks made for
children however these seemed to insult his intelligence. I also
tried computer based speech therapy applications, which were only
available when he had access to a computer. He seemed to progress
faster when he worked one on one with another human being. I
remembered the doctor in the beginning telling me to make every
visit a productive visit. Having a tangible book that he can take
with him and anyone can pick up and use added consistency
throughout his recovery. Each page of this Aphasia Workbook
includes photographs of different foods common to every day living.
Also on each page are three levels of difficulty. How you choose to
use each page is up to you and your patient or loved one. As I
worked with my father to help him regain his speech, reading and
writing, I realized that his process was the same as for a child.
First you learn to speak, then read, then write. There are
different levels of Aphasia, one person may regain speaking very
quickly another not so quickly. This book has been designed to help
with an Aphasia patents recovery at his or her own pace.
