Hello everyone! My name is Mark Ittleman and I have been reading these posts and realize that there are so many aspects of treatment, and yes there are some which are considerably better than others, and there are those who may not fully understand the methodology to some of these methods. In addition, many of the methods and treatments are designed by therapists or health care providers, for therapists and health care providers.
For any of you who wish to learn about a form of therapy for speech and language stimulation, I would like to introduce my new book, The Teaching of Talking, which was written after 40 years of clinical practice with people with strokes and aphasia.
Please stop by my websites and take a look around. I am a member of The Stroke Network and am devoting the rest of my clinical life to teaching caregivers about expert methods they can learn to help stimulate speech and language at home; much like what a mother first does when a toddler is learning speech.
Please check us out and if I can answer any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know on this blog or through my e mail that you can find on my websites:
Thank you for allowing me to introduce myself.
Yours truly,
Mark
