If you or your loved one lost the ability to read after a stroke, how much were you able to regain? What activities worked best for you?

[@vincentzevecke4578]

I got expressive aphasia from TBI, however, I was misdiagnosed for 46 years. I'm exceptional well--educated. I just find out that I have agrammatism.

I suffered a stroke 5,5 years ago.. caused by a stab wound in my face.. I could not read amonst other thing.. and tho I sometimes still screw up.. with lots of practice.. you can relearn how to read. If anything.. it is easier the 2nd time.. because the "output" is still there (I could still write) but the "input" is broken (I could not read what I had written) Thank you for making this video... losing your ability to speak, understand words, or reading is common amongst stroke victems.. but not much information or help is available.. or so it seems...

[@jenniferturley8031]

Yes, often people just focus on the loss of mobility. But losing the ability to communicate, in my opinion, is much, much worse. Thanks for commenting, and for watching.

[@patriciawilson1191]

Great information & very helpful for professionals, as well as family members helping w/ stroke recovery. Thank you for such helpful ideas!

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

Thank you for your comment! Glad it was helpful.

[@ronfrantz9943]

I am working on my recovery with the assistance of an experienced speech therapist. I found this KZbin very helpful. I hope there are more similar KZbin videos available in the future. BTW, my stroke occurred 8.5 years ago and I am experienced significant improvements. Thank you!

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

Thank you for commenting! I'm so happy to hear of your progress! It takes lots of work and dedication but it definitely pays off. I'll be posting more videos related to strokes in the future. Anything in particular your interested in? Stay tuned and thank you so much for watching.

[@ronfrantz9943]

Just wanted to add something to this that was significant to me. After my stroke I had lost my prosody, "the vocal patterns of stress and intonation". I have been working to recover my pre-stroke prosody and it seems to making a more global improvement. I am working on a daily basis with some classic poems ('If' and 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening') which I enjoyed when I was younger. I have marked these two poems to emphasize syllables and appropriate pauses. It is hard work but the results are significant. Don't discount prosody as a part of a comprehensive speech therapy program.

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

I absolutely agree! And it's good to hear from someone that has been through it. Prosody is a very important skill in speech and usually overlooked...until it is a problem. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@natalie5831]

As an SLT student this has been so helpful! I was wondering if you have a video for treatments for writing comprehension?

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

I don't currently have one for writing comprehension...but I'll put it on my list. I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching :)

I have Trauma brain injury

At 7:13, was that Walc or Walk book for aphasia?

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

WALC workbook for Aphasia

[@vincentzevecke4578]

I got expressive aphasia from TBI. I have problems understand texts. You know any techniques that we have me, understand texts better

[@jenniferturley8031]

Have you tried the text-to-voice feature? Maybe if the text were read aloud to you, you might understand it better.
