Speech and Language Therapists and other professionals

Therapy resources for working on dyslexia and aphasia following stroke are limited and it is for this reason that these two treatment resources were developed:



• Reading Again
This is aimed primarily at providing the client who has dyslexia/aphasia with a means of working independently through the use of audio tapes and accompanying booklets. However, there will be many clients who will benefit from using the programme but who will require some level of assistance from a therapist or carer.

The material employs a higher than average use of high-frequency, high-imageability, regularly spelled and content words. Cognitive and syntactic demands are minimised. The print is visually manageable through the use of a large, uncluttered font.





• Letter-by-Letter Dyslexia: a resource file and a case discussion

This file evolved from unusually intensive work with a letter-by-letter reader. It is designed for use by speech and language therapists working with clients who have the disorder. However, much of the material has application to working with other types of acquired dyslexias.
