Hi Joyce
Sorry that I couldn't reply immediately - I've been on Annual Leave for
a few days.
We don't have any CDs on this subject here at the Library. I've checked
on the Stroke Association website and they don't seem to have anything
like that either. Most of their resources are downloadable leaflets.
I do have a resource here which was published by the Stroke Association
in 1983 - "A Time to Speak" Positive ideas for helping stroke patients
with speech and associated problems at home and in groups. The author is
Valerie Eaton Griffith.
Alternatively I would suggest that the lady contacts a Speech and
Language Therapist or Specialist for guidance on self help.
With best wishes
Julie

Subject: Language resources for improving the English of Stroke victims
Dear all,
Have you at any time found any useful diy material for improving the
speech of stroke victims? My reason for asking
Yesterday I received an interesting enquiry from a lady whose husband
had
had a stroke and whose speech was badly affected, she asked whether we
had
any materials on cdrom or cd that might be used to assist him at home.
(I had already enquired as to whether they were receiving any other
help
from Stoke association etc thinking that an address or two might be of
some
assistance.)
Well, we were a bit limited by what was available, we do stock
language
materials for ESFL learners of English also basic skills materials....
not really appropriate,
It is an interesting question
Is there a need for public libraries to stock such materials and if so
what type???? (and in what quantity? given that budgets are tight)
Any thoughts on the subject apprecaited
