Finding the right aphasia therapist is vital to speech therapy success and improvement of talking. He or she must have expert knowledge and rapport.

This Florida photograph was taken when we were visiting those interested in learning more about The Teaching of Talking Method for the treatment of aphasia. It is of special interest to caregivers, and students who wish to learn expert methods to help their loved ones or clients talk. The photograph above is entitled: “Musical Chairs.” It is a game many learn as children.

The treatments for aphasia and speaking difficulties are varied. You may have to go around and around until you find the right teacher or therapist. That is paramount. Then you must commit to learning a method by applying language stimulation in the proper way to help the person with aphasia speak in words, phrases or sentences at home where the majority of speaking occurs.

Many people with aphasia and their caregivers may think they are not capable when it comes to speaking again or helping the person with aphasia talk again. I believe the opposite may be true. They just haven’t found the right person/therapist to learn from and therefore there is relatively little if any progress.

Speech therapy and results of improved speaking are highly correlated to the relationship of an expert with the caregiver and person with aphasia. That relationship along with expert methods highly increases the chances for speaking improvement. 

We develop relationships with caregivers and their loved ones with aphasia by offering personal mentoring by Moshe Mark Ittleman, M.S., CCC/SLP Speech Language Pathologist with over 45 years of experience and dedication to those with aphasia.
