These are pricey programs, but this is due to the range of features that make them so flexible and adaptable to an individual's needs and abilities. The software allows the user to change the number of choices on the matching tasks according to the ability of the patient. For some people, four choices may be overwhelming, but two may not be much of a challenge; three may be just right.

Another setting you can change is how long the letter, word, or picture stimulus remains on the screen, from one second to continuously. This is a nice feature if you are working on response speed, short-term memory, or attention. You can also set the response items to appear either at the same time as the stimulus item, or after it disappears. Both of these programs are available in a standard form with only visual stimuli, or in "Out Loud" form, which allow the option of a recorded voice presenting the stimuli over the computer system's speakers.

The voice can be turned on or off. Get more therapy with extra difficulty options.

You can also control the length of the lesson without repetition, such as having a 25 exercise lesson. Bungalow programs have so many exercises we've found that even one lesson can be too much for a patient to do in one sitting. Do memory training.
