Adults Who Have Suffered A Stroke Or Head Injury

Adults who have experienced a stroke (referred to as a CVA-cerebrovascular accident) or head injury often present with deficits in speech intelligibility, language, cognitive (thinking) ability, and/or swallow function.

After a stroke or head injury, the brain will slowly begin to heal from its injury. Many of the above-mentioned deficits may resolve completely or partially as the body heals. However, many patients discover lasting deficits as a result of a stroke or head injury.

A Speech Therapist is trained to treat speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing deficits that result from strokes and head injuries.
