Computer-based Resources |
Many stroke survivors and caregivers use their home computer to help find information and recovery tools. Using a search engine, such as Google' is great but sometimes it is hard to find the right information that you need.
Suggestions that may yield more useful information are:
- Try to put more expressive terms in your search. For example, search for "stroke speech therapy aphasia" (returns about 56 thousand sites) rather than "stroke" (65 million sites).
- Always check with your doctor or therapist about any new or additional therapy tools.
