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.

Learning how to catch a ball can be as easy as 1 2 3!
Catching a ball can be harder then it looks! Catching balls develops good shoulder stability and torso stability.
You can help make the process easier by offering the right balls in the right order. Here is a three step process to try:
1. First start with a sturdy balloon, a punching balloon without the elastic is ideal. It can be easier to start in a sitting position about 2-3 feet away.
2. Next, try with a light high friction ball. The 9 and 15 inch Yadda balls are ideal.
,3. In the final step, stand or sit a little further apart and bounce the Yadda ball to the child. The bounce gives the child a little extra time to catch the ball.
Note: For children with latex allergies, balloons contain latex but the Yadda balls are latex free.
