Thank you so much for helping in my recovery after I suffered a massive stroke at age 22. I lost my speech and thanks to CAYA I am so slowly finding ways to communicate with friends and most important out in community. I am gaining confidence which is enabling more independence.
I have a four year old son who was heartbroken and cried because Mommy couldn’t read him a bed time story. CAYA has given me a device that my sister programmed with 3 of his favorite stories to her voice which sounds just like my voice. Bed time story is a joy once again. I push a button and he turns the page.
I carry a wallet with pictures and words of things I like to order at restaurants all have to do is pull it out and my frustration at struggling to tell someone what I need is minimal now. Thank you to my CAYA SLP Leanne for your expertise and caring ways to improve my life.
I also have a communication device with words and symbols which is helping reprogram my brain to remember what was lost. More recognition of words and the ability to say them has definitely come a long way. I still have a long road to go but with help from CAYA I am confident I will continue to improve bit by bit.
Thank you very much
