Impacts of Stroke on Speech
Stroke can weaken a person’s overall health and cause paralysis, muscle weakness, and various cognitive issues. In severe cases, it can lead to severe paralysis or death.
One of the most common effects of stroke on patients is speech impairment, and it is in the form of aphasia.
Aphasia happens when a certain area of the brain is damaged by a stroke attack, affecting your speech, reading, writing, and communication skills. There are several forms of aphasia in stroke patients, and each differs in terms of its severity.
When you reach out to us, we can diagnose the severity of your speech disability brought by stroke. We utilize the latest techniques to diagnose our patients and provide easy-to-understand information that patients and families can use during the course of the patients’ recovery.
Available Speech Therapies for Stroke Patients
Speech therapy is recommended for patients who recently experienced stroke as it can help them improve their speech capability. There are a variety of speech therapy exercises that can be used to help strengthen a patient’s speech muscles and capacity.
Some of the exercises that may be recommended include:
1. Breathing exercises – help improve breathing circulation when speaking and make it easier to construct sentences.
2. Tongue strengthening exercises – strengthen the tongue’s muscles and improve its capability to make sounds.
3. Speech sounds – improve a patient’s capacity to make the right sounds, which can be difficult at first for aphasia patients.
4. Picture and sentence practices – help patients become familiar with the right images and recall the right words so they can create new sentences.
Our licensed speech pathologists look into your condition to check what speech therapy exercises will work best for you. We also customize the sessions based on your needs and update them regularly so that they match your progress. We also do virtual therapy sessions if you can’t visit our Brooklyn clinic. We allow you to pick the best time to do the treatment or therapy sessions as well. It is totally up to you!
