Introduction Movie Mark Ittleman using Teaching of Talking Method Stroke Patients with Aphasia

When you watch this video it will change your beliefs about how stroke survivors CAN recover. RAPPORT (the know, like and trust factor) and STIMULABILITY appear to be key along with passionate REPETITION framed with a SIMPLE appropriate therapy application as part of our daily lives.
