Stroke Rehabilitation – Including Aphasia
Aphasia is a common communication disorder after a stroke. Aphasia causes difficulty finding the words that you want to say and/or have difficulty putting words together in sentences that are meaningful. Other issues such as memory, attention and concentration, fatigue, and perseveration (not being able to stop saying a particular word, or not being able to get off a particular topic) etc. can also have an effect on communication after a stroke. The Speech Clinic’s speech-language pathologists can complete a cognitive-communication assessment after stroke. From this assessment a personalized and functional treatment program is developed. The Speech Clinic is also in progress of developing post-stroke communication groups – please call us to inquire or have us put you on our list of interested participants.
