Numbers communicate so much, yet they are often left out of communication therapy. Now stroke survivors can practice understanding, saying, and typing numbers at home to improve these essential life skills. Age, dates, phone numbers, addresses, money, time, measurements, fractions, weight, years – numbers are everywhere and so important. Be more independent with communication with stronger number communication skills. Would you be able to understand, write down, and tell someone this phone message? “Your appointment is at 3:15 p.m. on August 3rd, 2015 at 1650 18th Avenue. Bring $5. Please call back to confirm at 785-5662.” Work on all these number skills and more with the evidence-based Number Therapy app! Number Therapy Lite gives you a free way to test-drive the full functionality of the app with a sample from the 30 categories of numbers including: *Single Digits *Double Digits *Triple Digits *Four Digits *Time *Money *Phone Numbers (add your own in the full version) *Ordinals *Fractions Number Therapy offers thousands of unique exercises you can use anywhere. Number Therapy Lite gives you a taste so you'll know the app is worth using. Work at your own pace to practice the skills that matter to you.
