|
| “Perhaps the most important message that I have taken from this book is that we should not be relying on professional therapists to provide all the treatment that is needed." |

|
| In the 1960's Val Eaton Griffith designed a series of simple, interactive techniques to help Patricia Neal, the celebrated actress and wife of author Roald Dahl, to make an almost full recovery after a series of massive strokes. |
|
| Her success resulted in a full mail bag of requests for details and help, and she wrote this book in 1970. It led to the creation of national volunteer schemes which are still in existence; and to today's Stroke Association. |
|
| She was awarded the MBE in the Birthday Honours List, 1977. |
|
| Now, David Worsley of East Kent Strokes has with kind permission of the author republished the original book and updated it with links to Stroke organisations. |
