This is a fun app that everyone can enjoy in family gatherings this month – but of course, there is a speech-language twist to it! When people have trouble with word-finding (something we see after strokes, brain injuries and language-based learning disabilities), we often teach them to “talk around” the word – come up with words that are related in some way to the word they’re searching for. Often saying those related words out loud will help the target word come out more easily, but even if not, the person listening will probably be better able to guess the correct word because of the description provided. So the Heads Up app takes that concept and turns it into a fun game! Click here for more information.
