A picture manual to help stimulate aphasic individuals in automatic speech tasks
The stimuli presented in this manual provide individuals who have aphasia with practice in automatic speech tasks designed to facilitate increased vocabulary and noun retrieval. This manual consists of picture stimuli and written carrier phrases which may be presented visually and auditorily. Those in initial stages of treatment may benefit from the maximum stimulation provided by visual clues when they are also combined with verbal clues. The spiral bound manual is composed of 40 printed pictures, each appearing 3 times in succession. The first shows the picture only. The second shows the picture with carrier phrase. The third shows the picture with carrier phrase and identification title. Instructions included. By: Angela Tipton Dikengil, M.S., CCC/SLP.

Assentive Computer Technology - Infrared Head Pointing
The Tracker and the Smart Nav AT can be helpful for users with carpal-tunnel syndrome, severe arthritis, quadriplegia, ALS, muscular dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis.
Head pointing should be considered for computer users who have good head control and poor (or no) fine motor skills in their hands. Pointing is the quickest, most direct way of controlling the computer. Many people with disabilities have been forced to use scanning, mouth sticks, and other alternative devices when all they really needed to do was somehow point.
One 'point' to remember when considering this kind of alternative mouse: you can use your head, but you don't really have to. You may use any body part that has reliable movement and control, like an arm or a knee, to place the dot upon. Also, you may use a hat, a headband, or a sweatband to hold the dot if you do not want to place the dot directly upon the skin.
