Answers

How do I use the trial CD?

Choose programs to try (see the question below). Then try each program. Each program has multiple lessons, so try each lesson.  View and print our Step-by-step instructions for evaluating trial programs.

Which programs are best for my situation?

Everyone's situation is special, so Bungalow Software provides two options to help you find the right programs:
  1. Bungalow's Therapy Package includes a free initial consultation to help pick out the right programs, and it includes a free follow-up training session to teach you how to use these programs.  [{Click here for details]
  2. The Therapy Program Finder helps you find the right programs for your situation.  Just check off all the options that apply and the programs for your unique situation will be listed.  [Click here to use the 'Finder]

I can't download the free demo.  How can I get the software?

Not everyone is an internet whiz. So, we offer the trial versions on the Bungalow Software Trial CD-ROM.  Click here for more info.

How can an aphasic person use a computer if they cannot talk (or read or write)?

This software is specially designed by a speech therapist for use by those with aphasia.  All of the programs can be used by pressing just a few keys on the keyboard.  You could even color-code those keys if needed.  In fact, one of the programs requires only the pressing of a single key.

I don't have an appropriate computer.  How do I use the programs?

The programs do require a Windows PC computer.  However, we do have an economical Therapy PC package which includes a computer.  Click here for more details.

Do these programs require special training?

No special training is required.   Someone should work with the patient (survivor) to get them started.  However, the programs are very easy to use. 

No one here knows how to operate a computer. How can we use the programs?

For the computer novice, we have the  Therapy PC (includes a PC and therapy software).  This includes over-the-phone training and consultation.  Your personal consultant will familiarize you with the programs and how to make maximum use of those programs. Many people with no computer experience have used these computers with great success. Click here for more info.

Is it too late?

No.  It's never too late for speech therapy.  While much recovery occurs immediately after a stroke, etc., it is never too late to receive benefit from computer-assisted speech therapy.  In fact, one study included subjects who were 15 years post-stroke.  The study concluded that "...language function can be broadly, positively, and significantly influenced by computer-based language therapy in chronic aphasia"  It's never too late.

Bungalow software provide discounted bundles  for patients and clinicians. You can view them in the back of the Bungalow catalog or on the shopping cart page.  We can not alter which programs are in the discounted bundles, however, we can create custom bundles of 5 or more programs for patients.

Can I pay monthly (for a lease or subscription)?

Yes!  For $50 per month you get access to nearly all of the programs. There is no long term obligation. You pay by the month. When you end your subscription all programs are deactivated.  Contact us for more information on this.

Will my computer work with these programs?

Computer Requirements

Short Answer:

Nearly any Windows PC computers made since 2002 will run our programs. If you're not sure, try them out with our trial CD.  Trials are identical to the full version, only time limited.  So if the trial works, so will the full program.  You can also buy programs with our Money Back Guarantee.
