Physically Challenged
Physically challenged individuals can use PR in a number of ways. First and
foremost, our specialized book holders can provide immediate relief for neck,
back and spine problems and issues related to arthritis of the hands.
Secondly, our text presentation software can completely eliminate holding pages or turning pages.
Thirdly, deaf students can immediately approximate voice with a visual simulation of speech.
Those with MS or CP or other illnesses causing spastic motion can easily see the text clearly from any place in the room, when it is presented in the silent reading format of level five. A multipath approach with voice is also possible by using level one.
This same approach holds true for helping all those suffering from macular degeneration and low vision.
Those patients recovering from brain trauma or stroke, those suffering from aphasia or apraxia, can immediately regain their ability to read with PR. Many patients suffering from brain trauma or the after affects of stroke are not suffering from short term memory problems, as often diagnosed, but rather from being overwhelmed by all the information on the page at one time. By reducing the amount of text presented to just one word at a time, most of these people can immediately begin to read again at a good clip. These patients will benefit by presentation of text and voice at levels one or two and sometimes at level six.
For Further Information
Please read our introduction to PR. This article is called "Improve Reading Quickly". Click on the link here, or access this article from the center of our home page. This article describes our progression of seven separate steps for creating good reading habits. This article describes how the program is used and each of the specific purposes. It explains briefly how our software provides help for almost every possible reading difficulty, and describes how two of the seven approaches provide different methods for anyone to immediately read text with increased speed and comprehension.
This Introductory article also explains how ideally this seven step, interactive program is combined with initial evaluation and periodic consultation. Our 16 page paper describes in depth why this should occur and spells out in detail the specific approach used by the PR trainer in the classroom, or with individual students or adults. A detailed description of the eight step initial evaluation process is also available. We offer a Free Demo DVD with free shipping anywhere in the USA.
The introductory article on PR also explains how immediate reading improvement can occur by using specialized hardware which holds book pages open. By freeing up the hands, this tool allows the reader to sit back in a relaxed and supported position and to type notes while reading. It also enables one to stop turning ones head from side to side while typing. For many people, this tool immediately improves reading comprehension and enjoyment as well as productivity.
