THE NEURO NEWSLETTER – August 2001 The newsletter provides information for speech therapists, those with speech & language difficulties, and their caregivers. -Clay Nichols, Editor PS - You may have noticed that we didn't have a July issue. I've been pretty busy as my wife, Terri, just gave birth to healthy twin girls in April and we're still recovering. I hope to get back to a one issue per month schedule soon. If you have feedback on whether a monthly or every-two-months schedule is preferable, let me know. ____________________________________ CONTENTS

Aphasia Tutor was one of our first programs back in 1995. It's also been our most popular. We've now added SPEECH to the program to create the new Out Loud versions. They have all the features of the "standard" Aphasia Tutor 1 and 2 but also add spoken cues and spoken answers for extra help. You can also use these programs for auditory comprehension in the Deluxe and Pro Out Loud versions. These new programs have only been available for a few weeks, but we've already gotten very enthusiastic response such as this: "Hi Clay, Just wanted to let you know that we received the program. It is really good. We did a little with Mel. We haven't really yet begun using it everyday yet, but we are looking forward to use the program. Thank you," -Eva For more information visit our website (links above) or email us for more information (or a catalog) ____________________________________ Needs of a community stroke program A list of the most important comments of a community stroke program, such as steps toward stroke prevention, stroke management, and rehabilitation services.

STUTTERING CONTROVERSY On June 10 and 11, a 2-part San Jose Mercury News article appeared which discussed an experiment that allegedly induced stuttering among children in an orphanage. The president of the national speech pathologists organization (ASHA) wrote a letter condemning these experiments as violations of the Code of Ethical Conduct. For more info on this story and ASHA's response, see the link below: http://professional.asha.org/announcements/stuttering_study.htm
