Stroke-recovery & brain-injury (TBI) patients
- Children, teens and adults of all ages
- Persons recovering from a stroke or TBI (traumatic brain injury), where the ability to read may be impacted (i.e., alexia, aphasia, etc.)
- Persons recovering from a TBI (traumatic brain injury), where reading may be a significant challenge (depending on area of brain affected)
- Veterans with various reading challenges resulting from injuries incurred while serving in the field
- >May experience fatigue or stress when reading black text on white page backgrounds
- May often lose (and struggle to re-locate) their places when reading
How these individuals would use the tools with books, documents & some tech devices:
- Use to help to point the way to specific text lines in content yet to be read.
- Use for support when attempting to break down new words into phonemes or syllables (decoding).
- Use to prevent reader from losing her place within the content.
Examples
- More easily locate the next text line by moving the hand-held tool straight down the page. The left side of the Reading Window is open-ended, showing the reader where eyes should move to begin reading next text line.
