Aphasia, my description was that the words go across your forehead like tic a tape but don’t stop for you to read. I look at people talking and thinking “What the hell are they crapping on about?” Then when they realise I am having trouble they ask me do I want them to repeat what they said thinking I am going deaf. Well meaning people and relatives won’t shut up and will “throw words” at you and they will be way out of left field and honestly you now have a head full of unnecessary junk words that had nothing to do with the conversation. My favourite word “Laters”. Means later on we may have this conversation or not.

I have aphasia stroke last January 2023 and I was 34. I could not write and speak during that time. I couldnt get a job.

Do u know why you had a stroke so young ?

[@AphasiaRecovery-fk4jz]

He had a birth defect called AVM: the artery and vein in the left side of his brain had twisted since he was born, but didn't know that at the time. Very rare to have AVM, but even more rare for it to rupture. His survival rate from the intensity of his hemorrhagic stroke was 13%.

Did Stephen complete his 131 hours on line or in person? Could he speak more then 3 words when he started?

[@AphasiaRecovery-fk4jz]

He completed approximately 100 hours in person, returned to his consulting group in NYC, completed the remaining portion of the package online on weekends and after work, and added additional hours. Following his stroke, he experienced limited speaking abilities and had no understanding, writing, or reading skills. However, after undergoing three intensive aphasia programs, his language abilities improved by approximately 30% during his recovery. When he discovered LearningRX, his diagnosis test results were very low but improved significantly.
