Review: How To Do Your Own Intensive Aphasia Program - If you are a caregiver of a PWA (Person With Aphasia) who has moderate to severe aphasia, this book should be extremely helpful if you want to maximize their progress. Ittleman indicates if a PWA can imitate even single words and understands what you are saying, his method should be effective. This is true even if a person also has apraxia, though profound apraxia will probably first require other methods. Although a chapter is devoted to working on mild aphasia, and it's a good chapter, the rest of the book is more appropriate for more significant aphasia issues. What I've Gotten Out of this Book: 1. Stimulate speech whenever you are together during the day. (My own Caveat: amount and timing need to be finessed so it's enough but not too much for you both.) 2. Relax. Have fun. Use humor. 3. If your PWA is willing to work, they'll improve. 4. Be conscious of what you're stimulating for in terms of lengths of sentences. 5. Be aware of the need to slow down and enunciate slowly, especially words with more syllables. 6. Start easy. Work step by step for success at each step before making things more difficult. 7. Learn what mistakes to ignore. 8. Give your PWA positive feedback. If there are errors, rather than draw attention to them, suggest they try again. This book is all practical. It's written so anyone should be able to understand. There is really no theory to get bogged down with. There are a lot of examples that anyone should be able to relate to. In addition, you're encouraged to work with relevant content, and especially in the beginning, words, phrases, or sentences that refer to your immediate environment. If you are working with a therapist, hopefully, they've read this book and can help you put it into practice. If you aren't working with a therapist, you should probably be able to do much of what is suggested simply by reading the book. If this seems too much of a challenge, Ittleman's website, should be helpful including his videos. And he's also willing to either consult on-line with you or even answer your emailed queries. He's dedicated to spreading the work of how to do successful work on aphasia in your own home. I wish this book had been available three years ago when my husband had his stroke and could hardly say anything. He has had lots of speech therapy, including an intensive program, and all have been helpful. But Ittleman's methods have truly seemed to make the most difference. We have chosen to also do some consulting time with him. For us, this works well, and his charges are reasonable, especially given the time and effort he puts into lesson planning, notes to you, and answers to emails. But for those of you who do well with applying material straight from a book, the book, with perhaps some emailed inquiries and looking at his site, should be enormously helpful. Finally, this book doesn't address reading and writing issues. It focuses entirely on speech. If your PWA is like my husband and having difficulties with all three, it's probably better for quality of life for both of you to focus on speech. I guess exceptions would be if they seem to have more potential or interest in writing or reading than in speaking.
Review: Simple and Brilliant! - Upon returning to the field of Speech Pathology after happily staying home to raise my children, I can honestly say that the "Teaching of Talking" is a groundbreaking book for therapists and families who have been impacted by TBI or stroke. It is a logical and simplistic system that will help therapists train caregivers, so that once therapy time is over these individuals will continue to make progress. With the possibility of major changes to healthcare we cannot look to the therapists, as people who will magically be able to make loved ones talk. It is unrealistic and Mark's book is the first realistic approach to making major gains in the speed of recovery from brain injury. Well written, organized and concise. He is an inspiration!
