What the other people are saying about our site:
Dear Johan,
Congratulations on your website icommunicate. I am interested in information for families raising a deaf child and have found the information on the website comprehensive and parent-friendly. I would encourage anyone interested in speech and language difficulties to see what the site has to offer them. Thank you for giving us permission to share it with families in Australia.
Kind regards

This web site is an excellent resource for the stroke or brain injury home caregiver who is dealing with a patient who has communication challenges (i.e. speaking and listening). Here the non-professional caregiver will find understandable explanations of the various kinds of disabilities, as well as therapeutic exercises and suggested approaches that could be included in a home rehab program. For those of us who have virtually no medical training, this is an excellent resource with an on-line forum, moderated by a professional therapist. As a “brain” caregiver, I know how helpful it is to know what the professionals consider a therapeutic challenge, so that I can readjust my expectations for my patient’s recovery and deal more realistically with the problems I encounter on a daily basis.
