A nursing student said to me today, after observing a speech therapy session with a man who was hospitalized after CVA and Aphasia. "Every nurse who cares for people with a stroke and aphasia should learn the Teaching of Talking Method." His wife was learning how to stimulate speech and language with the Teaching of Talking Method and I asked the nursing student to join us. Both the nurse and wife were so excited since they picked up some of the methods and immediately started stimulating this gentleman's speech each time they saw him. Hmmmmm... Hadn't thought of that... How important this would be for a neuro-nurse or rehabilitation professional! The great ideas people can come up with!Mark A. Ittleman, M.S., CCC/SLP
