Helpful Tools
The following tools will help the stroke survivor manage their health information.
Problem-Solving Module
This
problem-solving module includes all the key components of traditional,
problem-solving interventions and can be summarized by the acronym
COPE (Creativity, Optimism, Planning, and Expert Information).
The goal of the module (and, this website) is to teach caregivers
how they can optimize their caregiving problem-solving skills.
Aphasia Card
Aphasia is the most common communication problem that affects stroke survivors. It can affect the survivor's ability to speak or understand what others are saying. Learn more about aphasia and other speech and communication problems.
This wallet-size Aphasia Card will help the stroke survivor in communicating their condition to others. This card explains what aphasia is and offers a helpful tip for communicating with the stroke survivor. There is a space on the back of the card for the caregiver's contact information in case of an emergency.
