How long should speech therapy be after a stroke?
I have had patients for up to 3 years post CVA. As long as progress and improvements are noticed therapy is warranted. Sometimes patients will get burn-out and need to take a break from direct therapy and that is okay. The patient's engagement is key to success, so if he feels it is no longer needed, progress may slow. I would recommend a private practice that can be more flexible with scheduling so he can take breaks from therapy without being discharged and forgotten about. READ MORE
What's speech therapy like for adults?
Speech therapy for adults should attempt to improve functional communication or use adaptive strategies to assist the patient with resuming functional communication in their daily lives. This is often done with functional communication tasks, repetition, naming tasks, script training., etc... Additionally strengthening exercises for the face, tongue, lips may be needed to improve speech intelligibility. There will be tasks to do at home with caregivers to promote carry-over. This is a long process and will take possibly years to see max improvement. I hope your mother has a speedy recovery and resumes her favorite activities. READ MORE

Your speech therapist should give you home tasks as a home program to do outside of therapy. READ MORE
