Aphasia Practice: Making Pancakes | Speech and Language for Stroke, Brain Tumor, Brain Injury 

* FREE PACKET with Practice Activities! Download here: atlasaphasiace...
If you or your loved one has aphasia (difficulty with language) following a stroke, brain tumor, or brain injury, this video is great practice for simple speaking, reading, and writing tasks.
Practice with Bri, a speech-language pathologist from Atlas Aphasia Center. In this video, Bri will have you listen and repeat, name ingredients and kitchen items, and generate verbs involved in making pancakes.
You can watch, learn, and participate! Caregivers can also learn some of the best ways to help their loved ones through different cues. For example: say a word or phrase and have your loved one repeat, break up compound words into 2 pieces, use visual cues (gesture or write the word), say the first sound of the word they are trying to name, and most importantly - be patient!!! Give them extra time and let them try before you step in.
Disclaimer: This video should NOT replace speech therapy, but it is a great supplement to speech therapy. It is super important to practice at home!
Optional materials for writing:
Paper and pencil
OR dry erase board and marker
