Speech therapy software (apps) is an important component of an intensive comprehensive aphasia rehab program to get enough intensity both during sessions and after. #ICAP #Aphasia #SLPApps #TreatwithTactus

This week we played ‘where in the world?’, can you guess where this is? And does anyone know why it is pink? #aphasia #communicationgroups
