Posted by katya deluisa I recently came back to this site. Currently traveling the USA conducting workshops and seminars. As to your comments of course a person with a stroke who is stilll cognitive is different from one with Alzheimer's. However it is quite common for persons with Alz to also experience TIA's. I have worked with persons with strokes both cognitive and not with collage communication and they respond very possitively to the process. I am presently training staff at an organization for mentally disabled adults in this same process. Across the board their disabilities vary however their need to communicate doesn't. Brain damage of any kind manifests itself differently in each individual. Alzheimer's, strokes, traumatic brain injury, emotional, or physical create imbalances in the chemical and neurological functioning. My sole interest is to enable them to communicate so they are not lost. When communication is lost their disabilities increase considerably. Collage communication is an easy process that doesn't pigeon hole one brain disability or another.
