Computer Therapy


I've just been researching the computer resources we have on the stroke unit. So far i haven't used computers therapeutically, this is about to change!!



Computer resources

·         Grid-2 = used to assess if patients can access AAC e.g. typing/ symbol use etc.
·         Speech sounds on cue = used  for aphraxia of speech – drills with pictures
·         REACT-2 = sections on: 1. Auditory processing (clicking on correct word out of choice), 2. Visual processing (e.g. reading/ matching symbols and shapes), 3. Semantics(grouping items etc.), 4. Memory and sequencing (remembering items and the sequence of presentation), 5. Life skills (e.g. pragmatics matching emotions to video’s, telling the time, money, recipe’s.
·         Computer use – for emails/ typing/ Ghanaian newspaper access/ scanning
