Tactus Therapy offers a comprehensive suite of over 20 evidence-based mobile applications designed by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to help adults with acquired communication disorders such as aphasia, apraxia, and cognitive impairments following a stroke or brain injury. The apps are organized to address various skills including Oral Language, Written Language, Speech, Cognition, and Swallowing.
The core offering, such as the "Language Therapy 4-in-1" app, provides thousands of exercises across four key language modalities: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. A key value proposition is that the apps are flexible, user-friendly, and affordable (primarily a one-time purchase), allowing for intensive, evidence-based practice both in clinical settings and independently at home, often without requiring an internet connection.
Key Benefits & Capabilities:
- Evidence-Based: Activities are based on researched treatment techniques like Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA), Phonological Component Analysis (PCA), and Verb Network Strengthening Treatment (V-NEST).
- Customization: Users can fully customize activities by adding their own words, pictures, and prompts, making the therapy highly relevant to the individual's life (e.g., naming family members or pets).
- Progress Tracking: The apps generate score reports that can be viewed on-screen or emailed to a clinician for easy data collection and progress monitoring.
- Accessibility: Designed for adults, the apps offer customizable difficulty levels to support individuals with severe to mild aphasia, including options for two-choice answers and various cueing hierarchies.
In addition to the mobile apps, Tactus Therapy offers a web-based Virtual Rehab Center for SLPs, which is a separate subscription-based platform designed to streamline preparation and documentation for medical speech pathologists.
