  • Hi,

    I'm a 51 year young guy who has aphasia. Reason being, Had a cat- scan.... found anuasm...prior to surgery, injected embolisation, which casued aphasia. This was 11 years ago. Thanks for sharing about your comments. It has been very helpful. I struggled the first couple of years, but certainly speech has improved. My strengths are my wife and four kids how have always supported me.

  • Apraxia doesn't only "apply" to speech, but in some people also to other tasks. One example is, that some of these apraxia patients know what a scissor is and what it does, but is not able to use it once picked up.

  • Aphasia is not a loss of intellect.

    To overcome aphasia:

    If you cant understand it when you hear it, read it.

    If you can't say it, write it.

  • The tonics, sonics and phrenic.

  • Excellent video, great presentation! I suffered a stroke about a year ago and struggled with apraxia for the first 3-4 months. Music helped me: singing, listening to music, dancing. Actually, a ballet class really did the trick for me. Because that supported the re-development of bodily coordination. Thank you for sharing your knowledge here.

  • say that again......

  • my husband is 56 and suffered a stroke. I'm looking for exercises to help his speech develop. Your comment was very encouraging.

  • Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
