Customer Reviews
"The entire program has been an excellent fit for the clients, most of whom are stroke survivors at a university-based clinic. This digital product is organized and focuses on aspects of health that can have substantial positive impact on cognitive reserve. My clients have noted that they find the cognitive stimulation tasks to be adequately challenging and that it's been helpful to have a reminder to use cognitive and communication strategies both during group sessions and in their daily lives." – T.A. 11/18/2024
"I am impressed with the activities that are included. We can do all of the different activities within a single session. I like the fact that it is all encompassing, and it is available online. When you travel between facilities, having to carry a bunch of resources with you is cumbersome. Being able to access resources online makes life much easier for the traveling SLP." – T.B. 11/18/2024
"I like everything about this program! Especially the education and activities within the program." – A.K.
