Many people with aphasia experience some kind of an aided effect: that is, they are able to produce better speech using SentenceShaper than they can usually produce spontaneously without the system. Even people who can hardly produce any words at all may be able to assemble utterances on SentenceShaper by using the word-finding tools. Some of these people will also show gains in their spontaneous, unaided speech after a period of SentenceShaper use.

Published research from studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and conducted by the internationally recognized neuropsychologists and SLPs (Speech-Language Pathologists) with whom we have partnered has demonstrated that: SentenceShaper allows some people with aphasia to create markedly more structured and informative utterances, in their own voices, than they could produce without the system.

Probably the main difference is that SentenceShaper is more than simply a word-finding tool. Although SentenceShaper can give the user help with word-finding, its most remarkable effects derive from the processing support it provides. However, like other communication systems, SentenceShaper can also help the user to find words. And it allows the user to record words directly, without looking for them on the system. You do not need to choose between SentenceShaper and another device.

Sometimes. Since most jobs require speech and language skills, aphasia can make some types of work difficult.

Lists organizations recruiting and/or assisting people with disabilities in securing jobs. Job Accommodation Network, www.jan.wvu.

Aphasia is difficulty expressing oneself verbally (expressive) and/or understanding language (receptive).

In her review article, Mtiguy (1991) cites alcohol as a major contributing factor in over 50% of head injuries sustained in the United States.

SentenceShaper™ is an innovative, patented communication aid (computer software) designed to help people with aphasia create spoken sentences and entire narratives. It was inspired by research indicating that people with aphasia may retain extensive knowledge of their language, but can't use this knowledge because language processing is slowed down -- it takes these individuals longer to think of words, and words often vanish from memory before they can be combined into sentences.

To generalize, "western" people that suspend are normally into body modification (ie. piercings, tattoos, implants, etc.) on a somewhat more extreme level. Of this group, the primary age is 18-35 with a larger percentage being male.

No one knows. The artificial retinas or retinal implants are exceedingly primitive at this time. They showed promise for light and shadow and now seem to be allowing some people to distinguish the big E on the eye chart.
