让我们再谈谈 is a communication program for stroke survivors with aphasia. Both group and individual therapy are offered. The group is led by Communication Sciences and Disorders graduate students under the supervision of a certified speech language pathologist and CSD faculty member.
The group provides increased communication opportunities in a naturalistic context. Members participate in language stimulation activities, try new communication techniques and learn compensatory strategies that focus on enhancing their ability to participate in conversation and other communicative contexts of daily living. Participants develop a sense of belonging and have an opportunity to network with other stroke survivors.

St. 澳门威尼斯人娱乐城's Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) department is pleased to announce that we received a grant from the 帕金森之声项目 to serve clients with Parkinson's disease and individuals with Parkinsonism. The grant allows us to offer a speech therapy program to help individuals with Parkinson’s regain and maintain effective communication; the 说出来!®程序.
说出来!® places emphasis on speaking with intent and converting speech from an automatic function to an intentional act. 在一起, 病人, graduate student clinicians, along with their supervising speech-language pathologist, work through a series of speech, 的声音, and cognitive exercises outlined in the 说出来!®工作簿. Sessions are arranged based on client schedule, and can be at our clinic or through telehealth.
Upon completion of individual 说出来!®会话, 病人 transition to group 说出来!®会话. This program consists of weekly group sessions led by graduate student clinicians and the supervising speech-language pathologist. Group members provide support, 鼓励, and accountability to one another as they perform the 说出来!®练习.
Participation in group 说出来!®会话, along with daily home practice and six-month re-evaluations, has been shown to help 病人 maintain their communication skills throughout the progression of Parkinson’s.
说出来!®小组会议
