No More Tip-Of-The-Tongue-Words
In our life, we definitely had some experience of forgetting a word that our brain can almost remember but we say it on the tip of our tongue. However, getting tons of this experience may mean something more alarming like anomic aphasia. This type of aphasia is a result of damage in the left hemisphere of the brain, leading to patients’ difficulty in naming an exact word or thing.
The most common reasons for this neurological condition are also brain problems like stroke, brain injury, infection and diseases of neurodegeneration.

Each day, one hour of communication where patients are disallowed to use other communication alternatives aside from speaking is the core of this therapy.

This treatment strictly involves the intense way of speaking without the use of hand gestures or other body movements that may convey the thoughts of the patient.
