Hi, it’s Kasondra. I'm a speech therapist and today we have some exercises for people with
moderate to severe aphasia or apraxia of speech. These exercises are for somebody who has a
hard time getting their words out. They may have been told they have expressive aphasia
or Broca’s aphasia or non-fluent aphasia. And we will do some rote automatics which
is speech that people generally can say without having to think too hard about it.
Today we'll do counting 1 to 20, days of the week, and months of the year. Each exercise we’ll do two
times and this is to promote neuroplasticity: the brain's ability to rewire itself.
One of the principles to neuroplasticity is repetition, doing it over and over. And that's why
you might want to watch this this video every day to continue practicing these exercises every day.
The camera is going to zoom in and show my mouth closely. This often helps the brain know where the
articulators, the mouth, the lips, the tongue should be placed as you're saying each word.
Gives the brain extra input to help rebuild the accuracy of your speech
and where your lips and mouth are moving. So let's get started! First, we'll have counting.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Again, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Now, we'll jump to days of the week.
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Last is months of the year. Great job, keep doing this!
January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Thanks everybody for following along with those exercises. I hope they went well.
Please leave me a comment on how it's going for you and make sure you talk to
your own personal speech therapist about what exercises are most appropriate for
your language difficulties. Subscribe to the channel and come back soon!
Thanks! [Music]
