  Our AphasiaMate system was designed by clinicians to assist in the treatment of aphasia and adult language disorders. This unique multimedia system can be used by clients alone or with assistance from a caregiver. Such use can vastly increase the amount of systematic therapy time that can be provided to a given client, while controlling costs in a responsible manner.

AphasiaMate consists of eight main sections containing 146 different therapy tasks and more than 1700 individual exercises. Exercises incorporate text, graphics, and video clips and work on skills including comprehension of written and auditory material, spelling, solving problems of time and money, and classifying semantically-related items. Tasks range from a basic to high level of difficulty, so AphasiaMate may be used repeatedly by clients from early to late stages of treatment, and contains exercises suitable for most clients in your caseload.

To facilitate use both in the clinic and by clients at home, AphasiaMate is available in two formats. First, as a full clinical version, with integrated sequencing, control, and reporting components. Second, as separate groups of modules intended for use by clients independently or with the assistance of a caregiver.

AphasiaMate's Main Menu lists the eight areas in which tasks are organized.

AphasiaMate was designed for use with clients with Aphasia, but many tasks are appropriate for any individual with a language disorder, including children with a language delay, and people of all ages with a learning disorder. It may also be used by children and adults learning English. Because you can select exercises for each client depending on his/her skills and needs, use it wherever you believe it to be appropriate.
