A stroke can lead to several complications, including difficulty speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. Known as Aphasia, and Dysarthria, these communication disorders can be distressing and debilitating.
As speech therapists, we work with stroke survivors to help them regain their communication abilities. Through tailored therapy programs, which may include exercises to improve muscle strength, and various communication techniques, we aid patients in regaining their independence and quality of life.
Stroke recovery is a journey, but with the support of speech therapy, significant progress can be made. The power of communication should never be underestimated; it is a stepping stone towards stroke recovery.
