Deluxe Version Features

• Get more therapy with extra difficulty options. Show the first letter of the answer or reduce the number of choices to make the program easier, or give fewer hints to make it harder.
• Motivate the patient by showing them how well they're doing with automatic progress tracking which saves the results of each session are saved, to a file.  You can print this or copy it into other documentation.  Limited to a single patient. For unlimited patients, see Pro version
• Make faster progress with repetition practice.
  Repeat the first 20 questions 5 times, or repeat as many questions as you like as many times as you like.  You can also control the length of the lesson without repetition, such as having a 25 exercise lesson.  (Bungalow programs have so many exercises we've found that even one lesson can be too much for a patient to do in one sitting.
• Do memory training. You can set the program to display the cue to display temporarily or until they press any key.  Then the cue disappears, and the question appears.

+OutLoud version includes spoken cues and hints for extra help and improving Auditory Comprehension.

"Your software is great, by the way. We're still working with it (6 months later), and still making progress.

It's a slow process to rebuild a vocabulary, but we refuse to give up, and your software has helped tremendously."
