This new communication software is like a word-processor for spoken language, helping those with aphasia record and edit speech in their own voice. It's clinically proven to help patients speak better. Patients use it to transform halting, slow, unconfident utterances into wedding toasts, voice emails, spoken anecdotes and (in the Pro+Editing version), play them with personal photos in computer scrapbooks. Built-in therapy materials allow practice on different kinds of sentences of increasing complexity. How it worksThe patient observes cues (a photo, vocabulary buttons, a spoken model) or an empty workbook and then records their speech then arranges these recorded snippets into sentences and stories and can even play them back later to use the software as a communication aid or (in the Pro+Editing version) they can also play those back along side personal photos in computer scrapbooks.

Clinical Research on SentenceShaper 2You can download a summary of the research on SentenceShaper.If you can't view the above document you need to install Adobe Reader which you can download it from www.Adobe.com Additional Clinical InfoThis aphasia & apraxia software is helpful for word-retrieval due to anomia (expressive aphasia), in which the patient has difficulty naming objects or retrieving words. So, if you show them pictures of objects, they have difficulty verbally naming the object. It's particularly effective for fluent aphasia (also called Wernicke's Aphasia), in which the patient can speak, but much of that speech is in appropriate. So if you show them a baseball and ask "what is it" they might respond "round...you throw...you know...the catcher..." Computer Requirements
