SPEECH LANGUAGE IMPROVEMENT
IM is a unique application of technology that can improve those underlying capacities, which are essential to patients’ development of speech-language and cognitive skills. Through neuroplasticity, the neuromotor exercises that make up IM tasks stimulate the brain to adapt or create new neural pathways that compensate for injury or developmental delay, which results in functional outcomes.
IM can result in or contribute to improvements in:
- Language processing
- Social communication
- Planning and sequencing
- Attention and concentration
- Control of impulsivity and aggression
