The Let's Talk program version 4.0 is here! We added over 400 new
conversational sentences to the program. The sentences use the Let's Talk "anchor" words
and are changeable so you can make them either easier or more challenging.
Using a good text to voice reader, you can create your own talking speech practice screens
with matching worksheets or individualize
the program screens, adding new words to match individual needs,
skill level and interests. Most new computers and laptops now have a natural sounding
text to voice reader, but you can also get one if you don't have it.

The most cutting edge treatment for stroke and traumatic brain injury that I've seen firsthand is LENS neurofeedback therapy. This type of therapy works especially well when combined with the Sensory Trigger Method.
Click here to see the series of video clips of type of treatment and recovery. It treats a broad range of cognitive and motor impairments caused by stroke or traumatic brain injury.
Let us help you make a real breakthrough and start talking
again!
Our speech recovery tools use The Sensory Trigger Method to tap into brain pathways from early childhood and the undamaged speech center on the other side of the brain. These special techniques are based on the brain research that shows that the other side
of the brain can reconnect speech and that the brain can reorganize and grow new connections. This is called "brain plasticity". Our software programs, guides and materials will give you effective,
motivating ways to make new pathways in the brain to unlock speech. Our innovative aphasia and apraxia speech practice program is designed to go beyond the limits of speech therapy and make speech recovery possible even in severe cases. It combines well with speech therapy, but can be used as a "stand alone" and done by anyone--even at home or by family members helping their loved ones in the hospital or care facility.
The
difference between what we do
and other programs is how
sight, sound and touch
are integrated into every activity
to make new connections in the brain
for speech recovery.
Using the kinethetic-tactile sensory
neuro-pathways that connect from the
hand to the speech center
the Sensory Trigger Method really
does break through speech barriers.

Michael Schacker's Story
Combined with the use of the
most frequently spoken words and conversational words, the method and
materials take most of the frustration out of getting speech back. We
have proved that even in "hopeless" cases, speech recovery is still
possible using the Sensory Trigger
Method. In addition, we have shown that the time frame for recovery
is up to two years and beyond--not six months as with most speech
therapy programs. This is why we have had so much success, even with
"untreatable" cases of aphasia. Story of my father's
amazing speech recovery
A recent study
showed that "Intensive Speech Therapy" programs are 85% more effective
than 1 or 2 times a week therapy sessions. Yet these programs are hard
to find and are expensive. With our Whole
Speech Practice Kits, families and therapists now have a way to
provide intensive speech recovery programs, even when time with the
patient is severely limited by insurance cut-offs or Medicare
limitations. Our family friendly programs and materials bring everyone
together. It is also now known that social and family interaction can
make the difference between a person who recovers their speech and
those who do not. The Sensory Trigger Method, is a daily,
go-at-your-own-pace speech practice and interaction that really works.
Our Speech Practice Kits are the best way to start talking again and
get your speech and writing back--even years post stroke. Professionally evaluated and
clinically tested.

The Sensory Trigger Method was clinically tested in 1991 by Larry A. Boles, M.S. CCC-SLP,
University of California, Davis,
Medical Center, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
All participants who had previously plateaued and were considered "untreatable" with speech therapy, benefited and showed significant improvement using the program and method.
