surviving stroke & communicatons disorders

The book was well written. It gave good insight to what many stroke survivors face when they confronted with the disablity of not being able to communicate by speech. It's obvious that Dennis Tanner has a great degree of empathy for stroke survivors and their care providers. The book describes in detail what is transpiring physically with apraxia of speech. Speech is compared to a computer and its many funtions. As a stroke survivor with severe Broca's apshasia and resulting apraxia I found the book to be of great help as did my family. It was well written and answered many of the questions that my family and myself had. I would recommend it as a "must" for stroke survivors with communication disorders.
