I wish you'd been around 38 years ago when my doctors ignored me and I had to do it all myself. I still get very stuck.

I understand English and what people say. I can hear but I can’t speak😔I’ve met so many people who can’t accept me for what I have and it’s troubling.

When I talk to my grandma (she had a stroke about 2 months ago and now has broca’s aphasia) I can usually figure out what she’s trying to say because she’ll point to an object to give context and then I ask her what I think she means and if she says yes we work on that word together and she can typically get it when I help her sound it out and the look on her face when she finally gets it is priceless, she gets so excited and keeps saying it over and over like, “lamp, lamp, lamp! That’s a lamp!” It’s quite fun to watch.

Cueing aphasia starts with people to read individual words based on KZbin slowly giving grade school words in short videos. KZbin poster Complabteacher does this with vocabulary videos for children in various grades kindergarten through 4th grade, even though his videos are not mean for aphasia. Grade school videos are better to restart your memory just by giving brief sample of how to say words. It works for me so far in first months of stroke.

My brother can't pronounce many letters/ words but others are not too bad but he doesn't get any help with speech therapy because they take him saying no as gospel but we were told his yes and no answers wernt reliable because sometimes he uses both those answers to a question you'll ask him. He is only 48 and had his stroke when he was 43 but he also deals with medication for Schizophrenia which he was diagnosed with yrs before his stroke and that medication has some bad side effects where he has low mood, no motivation , depression , lathergy etc. It's so sad seeing him so isolated but he still wants his independence but he doesn't get a lot of support from his mental health team and we as his family for what we can for him but it's hard to watch him 24/7 as he's shut us out before for being too overpowering for him even though we are only trying to help and have his welfare at heart 😪

This is great! I had aphasia for six months after a traumatic brian injury. I feel like I'm 95% recovered but long words trip me up - like "individualism", etc. I'm one of the lucky ones. Thank you for your video!! Speech therapy was so helpful!
