Review by Loredana Sava - https://softsupplier.com

The brain is a very important part of our body, as it coordinates everything and tells the body what to do. Now people with aphasia – a language disorder appeared following a brain damaging or another trauma – can benefit from special care and can practice using special software applications that will gradually improve their speaking.

PowerAFA is the perfect example of such a helpful software. It was developed by PowerWolf Software Solutions, being compatible with all versions of Windows. This application has advanced features and is designed with the only purpose of making the people affected by aphasia exercise and improve their speaking abilities.

So PowerAFA uses lots of exercises that will enhance the speaking abilities of those suffering from Aphasia. These exercises are simple enough to be processed by them and works step by step, leading to a small, but increasing improvement. Some of these exercises are sound recognition exercises, word recognition, image and letter exercises, verbs and actions exercises and so on. It seems really easy at first sight, but this is only for normal people – for them it’s a big step forward as instead of being unable to communicate at all, they will progress and improve their speaking ability every day.

This kind of exercises are usually done under professional supervision, most of the times in specialized clinics or centres. That is why the software is specially designed to be able to deal with an increased number of patients, giving you the possibility to customize them according to the needs of every patient. For those with a low ability t speak, you will use the most simple exercises and for the more advanced ones, more complex exercises. There is an animated assistant provided by the software that is coloured in vivid colours and always moves all around the computer screen in order to draw the patient’s attention and curiosity.

PowerAFA gives the user the possibility to monitor the evolution of the patient thanks to the statistics held by the application. It also makes automatic updates, so you will use the latest features without having to look for them yourself.
