What is the theory behind this stroke speech therapy worksheet?
A stroke is a disorder that develops when there is insufficient blood flow to a certain area of the brain. The most frequent causes of this are a blocked artery or brain haemorrhage. Without a regular blood supply, the cells of the brain begin to die. It affects semantic knowledge, verbal fluency, attention, memory, and other motor skills. Communication issues could arise for someone who has had a left-brain stroke. Patients recovering from a stroke can overcome these communication difficulties with speech therapy techniques.
