[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”font18 regular center roboto black”]Rehabilitation after a stroke allows an individual to communicate once again.<\/strong>
\nIt is an integral step in regaining independence and reintegrating into daily life and activities.With the right help, a person can make progress at each stage of the rehabilitation process. Communication is central to quality of life. Generally, a stroke can impact the communication abilities of the individual affected[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”padding230x marginblocPRDHomepage”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”font18 regular roboto black”]A Speech-Language Pathologist is the health professional that evaluates an individual\u2019s ability to speak, understand, read and write. Other consequences of a stroke can make communication difficult. Difficulties affecting memory, organisation, problem solving and concentration can have an impact on an individual\u2019s ability to communicate. The role of the speech therapist is to understand the extent of communication difficulties, and the impact on the daily life of the person and to put in place a treatment plan with the individual and their family.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”382″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”nomobile”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”padding275x marginblocPRDHomepage padding35T”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nWhat is aphasia?<\/h2>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”font18 bold center roboto black lineheight24″]Aphasia is a label that describes the condition of difficulty speaking or understanding after a cerebral lesion. The cause is often a stroke, but can also be due to other types of cerebral lesions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”padding230x marginblocPRDHomepage padding35B”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”617″ img_size=”full” el_class=”fullwidthimg padding50R padding20T”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”font18 regular roboto black lineheight24″]The symptoms of aphasia are diverse and include \u2013 word finding difficulties (Anomia), ungrammatical sentences, confusion or word substitution, nonsensical speech or a difficulty expressing oneself.<\/strong><\/p>\nFor comprehension, it can be difficult to understand certain words or sentences. It is important to note.that aphasia can be subtle in its symptoms. For example, apathy and a general isolation from contact can be a symptom of aphasia as can a difficulty understanding nonverbal communication (facial expressions, irony, humour, etc.).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1562688288353{background-image: url(\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Groupe-591-1.png?id=1820) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”marginblocPRDHomepage”][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”padding50T padding230x”]<\/p>\n

Role of the Speech-Language Pathology in post stroke rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
Supporting the Person and Their Family. The role of the speech therapist varies depending on the individual, their situation and the objectives they want to achieve. Although most individuals want to work on re-establishing their communication abilities, it is also possible to work on compensatory strategies of communication if that rehabilitation is not possible. For example,
\ntechnological aids, such as tablets or iPads, can be integrated into daily communication exchanges to ensure that the individual can efficiently communicates needs and desires.<\/p>\n
Speech-Language Pathologists can also offer strategies and techniques to the family to help support communication. These strategies reduce frustration by increasing the ease of communication. This is an important element, as the side effects of a stroke are not only felt by the individual, but also by their family and friends.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/12″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”marginblocPRDHomepage padding50T”][vc_column el_class=”fullwidthimg”][vc_single_image image=”115″ img_size=”full” el_class=”padding80B”][vc_row_inner el_class=”posblocwhite2 marginblocPRDHomepage”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/12″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”8\/12″][vc_column_text el_class=”font18 regular roboto center black padding120x lineheight24 bgwhite padding80B margin-20T”]<\/p>\n
