This program is for higher level word-retrieval ("word-finding") common in aphasia. It's a companion or follow-on to Aphasia Tutor 2.

Recommended for:

• Word retrieval
• Vocabulary development
• Reasoning

Professional version Features: These features are available in the Professional version of the program.

• Save time with automatic progress-tracking. Results of each session are saved, by client, to a file. You can print this or copy it into other documentation
• Automatically remembers settings for each patient So, when Mr. Jones comes back in for his next visit, you just select Mr. Jones and the program remembers how he did last time, what lesson he was using, and what settings you used for him.
• Repetition Practice Repeat the first 20 questions 5 times, or repeat as many questions as you like as many times as you like. You can also control the length of the lesson without repetition, such as having a 25 exercise lesson. (Bungalow programs have so many exercises we've found that even one lesson can be too much for a patient to do in one sitting.

What it does: Displays a prompt such as "Up is the opposite of ___". The patient chooses or types the correct answer. As the title suggests, has lessons where the patient finds a word that has the same meaning (Synonym), opposite meaning (Antonym) or finds another word that sounds the same (Homonym).

Highest levels are very challenging. The patient is given a definition. S/he must then match that to the definition of another word that sounds the same.

Lesson Examples:

Easiest level (1) BIG is the opposite of small, large, bag, bug.

(Answer: a. Small)

Most challenging level (15) "precipitation is ___" which sounds like the word for : kitchen appliance which keeps food cold, trousers made with denim, the rule of royalty, paper which assists route-finding.

(Answer: C, because "the rule of royalty" is "Reign" which SOUNDS LIKE "rain". Precipitation is "rain").

Did you find that challenging enough? This is the highest level in this program, so don't expect the patient to get the right answer immediately. The patient has 14 other lessons to build up their skills before tackling 15!
