Speech therapy also can be particularly useful after a stroke. Our speech therapist works with individuals who lose their ability to speak, have a difficult time thinking of words or using the right words after a stroke (aphasia), or deal with sounding different or having slurred speech after a stroke (dysarthria). Additionally, some individuals lose their ability to swallow (dysphagia) or have a hard time chewing following a stroke and they can have muscle weakness in the mouth that leaves food in the cheeks. Just like rehabilitating your body, speech therapists have exercises that can help make the swallow mechanism stronger and safer.
It’s important to note that stroke rehabilitation is individualized, as the effects of a stroke can vary widely from one person to another.
