Welcome
to the constantly updated and reshaped pages of tettricks.
The basic idea of this website is to give persons with an acquiredd brain damage and their members or partners an additional help so they are be able to orientate themself little better esspecially before (or after) they´re leaving the hospital.
The name Tettricks was invented quite originally, while Tetraparesis (paralysis of all four limbs)]was simply composed with the concept Trick (tips). The logo shows made unfamiliar a wheel chair driver.
*** Brand new *** is the category Therapies . There professional therapists explain Musictherapy , Neuropsychology , Occupational Therapy , Speech Therapy and Physiotherapy. Besides, there are interesting undersides on the defenition Aphasia (coming up soon!) and Christel Eickhof explains the therapy method, very respected by me, SRBT.
As you can see I translated these pages aswell in english to show foreign people how things are working in Germany - esspecially in Berlin. Thus there is a ratgeber.pdf [8.882 KB]
published by the regional authorities for health and social live as for people with impediments living in Berlin.
The basis of all legal regulations is of course the German law.
I suffered, on account of a supposed false treatment of shingles in the head, a brain stem infarct (result: Locked in syndrom). Since then I am paralyzed to nearly 100%. Besides, I cannot speak.
My linguistic therapist Mr. Mundt has explained in his article Strokes and Their Effects the concept Stroke once in detail and, besides, have drawn the attention to the possible results which can enter. Also is well shown with which damage which therapists can help.
On the Locked in page, this very rare syndrome is described in detail. Besides, the contact with a patient affected by the syndrome is discussed thoroughly.
On the side Book & Filmtip are beside useful book tips also the film trailers which have particularly moved me after my stroke: "Butterfly & diving-bell" , "Mar adentro - the sea in myself" and "Talk to her" .
Immediately after a stroke one stands before a mountain of questions and decisions. My woman and I have tried to provide once a page Please notice first! to give an direction of the things you should do. Among the rest, under useful tettrick-downloads , you´ll find this list also as a PDF file to printing out.
To get a certain impression about us as a pair, there is a Film about us which was taken up in the Indian summer in 2006 by the WEST GERMAN RADIO / MDR.
Who is on the move in Berlin with the wheel chair, will find a list with Cafés & Pubs .
On the My invention page you find an exact name of my specially patented "on the way the communication help" which allows a considerable measure and a lot more freedom to me.
Also there is a short film about how to communicate with me without my specified computer (Filmedit:"talking" by using classical letter board ). With this hornboard, I´m be able to communicate with practised people if sometimes just no laser glasses beeing arround.
To work with my laptop, I work with an external keyboard which is sensitive to a laser. It´s exactly described in the chapter Lucy, external keyboard connected to Labtop . You´ll find additional "little helpers" on the My adjuvants page.
I would expressly like to mention that these sides have no right to 100 %-tige correctness.
That is it by now! Have fun with these pages!
