speech
I went to my speech therapy this morning. She had me saying ahhhhhh, ooooh, eeeeh and reading from what looked like a grade second reader. The she made a mistake. She said, "Tell me a little about yourself." Now, being a complete windbag I went into a dissertation that rocked her back on her heels. She kept asking me to take a deep breath as i talked.
For most stroke patients, the rehabilitation process includes nursing, occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), therapeutic recreation (TR) and speech therapy (or speech language therapy, SLP).

I would look into the "epilepsy foundation"
And that that place where they only asked her to point at a brush, or comb or asked who is the president was worthless speech therapy. The physical therapy did not help either .for the teacher was mean to mom and others too. " he said things like" you don't want to have a third stroke, for most people do not recover from a third one. Even though it may be true, you should not say that to a patient and make them sad, or feel that it is their fault they are in their situation.

Hi,
Brain injured patients may receive rehabilitation that involves individually tailored treatment programs in the areas of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language therapy, physiatry, psychology, and social support. A complete physical and neurological examination is needed in each treatment program. It would be best to discuss which treatment option is best for you with your doctor for proper evaluation and management.
Take care and keep us posted.
Speech problems may include slurring, long pauses between words, nasal speech, tremor in voice etc. You could ask the hospital to send across a speech therapist. This will help improve her speech even while the inflammation is there. Once the relapse is under control, speech therapy will speed up the speech recovery.
If she is feeling well enough to write and does not have shakiness or tremors in hand, you both could communicate by writing.
Today I took my daughter to the hospital to have an MRI scan. They were trying to figure out why she was having headaches. They did a CT scan and an MRI. The scans showed that she Chronic Sinus Infection. Well they found something else in the MRI scan. She has an underdeveloped brain that controls her speech, eating, etc.

My question is: Can head traumas that are supposedly "minor" cause loss of speech, or a speech disorder? Can it cause "petit mal" staring seizures?
This haunts me. . .
I have stone floors in my house and my son (due to playing with his older sister) has fallen (apparently) backwards twice off the couch (18 inches) and hit his head on the floor - hard.
It was a the District of Georgia we were in. Anyway, I had alot of support there with speech therapy, small muscle therapy and a program that was made for him to attend kindergarten all day. He was not very co-ordinated. They adminstered an IQ test and told me that he had a learning disability. No name, but his non-verbal skills were so far ahead of his verbal skills, that he qualified for a disability.
