When Lingraphica's Aphasia User Group met on December 9, our discussion eventually turned to the topic of favorite holiday traditions. Here's what a few members warmly recalled.
The holidays are upon us again, and that means holiday movie marathons on TV and holiday music played 24/7 on the radio. We recently asked our User Group what some of their favorite holiday songs and movies are. See what they had to say!
While everyday life can be stressful enough for persons with communication disorders, the holidays can add another layer of complication. With holiday parties and visits from family, there is no shortage of background noise from music and loud conversations, as well as pressure from others wanting to communicate. People with speaking challenges can still enjoy the holidays with the help of a few minutes of meditation each day.
Today is the first day of Aphasia Awareness Month! We're excited to partner with two non-profit organizations supporting aphasia, AphasiaAccess and the National Aphasia Association, for a special advocacy campaign called: "Finding Words." The campaign aims to raise awareness of aphasia by collecting user-generated stories with the prompt, what one word would you use to describe aphasia and why? Lingraphica and its partners are encouraging all individuals touched by aphasia to submit their answers to this question.
It was an exciting summer for the community of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) users!
We're excited to announce our latest TalkPath product, TalkPath News is now available for Android and Apples device users! Not only is TalkPath News Lingraphica's first Android app, it's also the result of a long-held dream to help adults with aphasia and other speech disorders enjoy the news.
This week, several members of our team are joining hundreds of thought leaders, speech-language pathologists, and aphasia advocates in Boston for the first inaugural AphasiaAccess Leadership Summit.
We're kicking off March as YappGuru's first featured developer for 2015! YappGuru is a unique platform managed by a team of dedicated speech-language pathologists who provide therapy services for patients during the day and run YappGuru by night. They're passionate about speech therapy and committed to sharing the latest apps with the community of speech-language pathologists (SLPs). To say they work hard is an understatement.
