3A Few Words of Advice There are many types of aphasia. So, not all software or apps will be right for you. Try the free or trial version of any software first to make sure it works for you. Do not spend money on software that you have not tried out. Just because it is for aphasia does not mean itwill be right for you. If you’re not sure, get advice from a speech-language pathologist. Any software or app will be best for you if it helps you do something that is important to you. If you get frustrated with the software or your device, just take a break.Voices of Hope for Aphasia offers specialized training on a wide variety of technology tools.Our workshops and webinars are especially designed for people with aphasia and their families.We also offer one-on-one consultations to help you choose the right technology.We go on outings to help you use your new tools.Check out our website to find out about our upcoming workshops, labs, and field trips!200 2nd Ave. So, #449 St Petersburg, FL 33701727.249.1953www.vohaphasia.org
