The presenter did an outstanicn job of presenting information about technology and rationale and how to use it with persons with aphasia. Great handout and videos of patients over time. I am not new to the use of techology with this population, but this information is new as technology and applications have changed. Also the videos show patients who have goals that are more than wanting to just ask for food or to relate medical problems. I plan to make use of all resources given,. I did not know that some insurance companies will pay for Lingragraphica.

The inclusion of research findings and website addresses provided solid resources. The programs that were featured seemed to be practical ones in terms of accessibility and affordability. The case examples presented the interventions in a clear, personal, and more compelling way than the descriptions alone. The course topic really promotes the idea of advancement, which is the core principle of treatment. If, while the technology of tools advances, the clinical professional's practical applications of new tools advance, the individual with aphasia can advance as a communicator.
