React2 |

In our department, we have been using software from Propeller Multimedia for several years now. Having used React successfully since its development, we were pleased to be able to purchase React 2 last year. This is an extremely user-friendly piece of therapeutic software for adults with language processing deficits. It covers a broad range of language domains and provides varying levels of difficulty to suit the widest range of patients. I have found it useful both for patients with pure aphasia and those with problems of language and cognition, subsequent to traumatic or other forms of brain injury. Patients themselves have responded very positively to the package, appreciating the range of stimuli it offers. I find it a real boon in terms of therapy preparation time – I know that it will provide exercises ideally suited to my patient without having to sit and prepare paper and pencil exercises. Though such exercises will always be an important part of therapy provision, React 2 provides a refreshing alternative for both therapist and patient.
In addition last year, we were also fortunate to be able to purchase several other pieces of therapeutic software from Propeller. We chose packages dealing with reading, including functional tasks such as reading an advert as well as longer texts, semantic processing, auditory comprehension and speech analysis and production. Although these packages (developed by Bungalow) are American and therefore rather culturally biased, we have found them useful adjuncts to therapy, and most patients are not troubled by the American accents. Again, they provide a large pool of extra resources for patients who need repeated practice to achieve speech and language goals.
We have found Propeller Multimedia to be consistently helpful and accessible. From selection of products, to installation to after-sales care, their approach has been friendly and totally reliable, and I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.
