100% recovery will always be extremely difficult, but a great deal of improvement can be made outside of the 3-month window. Clients are often too ill during the first 3 months to take part in structured therapy. Aphasia theory and therapy has been reduced on University and college courses over recent years in favour of the 'social model'. You are better getting advice about what is actually possible with a particular client from an experienced therapist working in the field.

I was not giving any advice but just telling you what I have learned during my speech therapy courses. Ofcourse certain aspects of language can be improved with the help of a speech therapist, but when there is no spontaneous recovery within 3 months, there will never be a 100% recovery.

This is by no means good advice. Many patients continue to make progress for many months and years. Additionally, the comment that speech therapy does not help spontaneous speech is a reflection on the speech therapist. A good therapist will always try to make therapy as functionaly useful as possible, and where possible, this will include connected speech.

It's best to take him to a speech and language therapist. It's not just about practising words. There's much more to it than that...like you couldn't imagine. You are not likely to find information on the internet on how to do the job of a speech therapist! It takes extensive assessment and therapy goals to make the improvements happen

[mistersleeepy]

Speech therapy uses short term goals, like naming things, to reach the long term goal, reaching maximum potential. Working with voice quality, fluency, articulation, social aspects etc etc maybe even devising a means of alternative communication.

[browngreeneyedgirl]

I don`t want to discourage you, but when there is no spontaneous recovery within 3 months it is possible that there will be no recovery at all. Speech therapy does not help improve spontaneous speech, it only improves small aspects of speech, such as naming things for example.

PLEASE get your husband to a speech pathologist! !!! He had a stroke in Broca's area, which is close to the Primary Motor Strip in the cortex! He won't get better without the help of a pro!!
