Speech therapy | Helderberg Stroke Support Group | Somerset West
Occupational- and Speech Therapists in Somerset West felt the need for some of their stroke patients who were feeling isolated because of not being able to communicate properly and to get together with other stroke patients for mutual support. This was the start of the Helderberg Stroke Support Group.
The Group has expanded since they were established, and a Speech Therapy group was started because they realised that one of the most devastating effects of a stroke is loss of speech and language.A speech therapist can help recover these communication skills.
Stroke patients often know what they wants to say, but cannot coordinate the muscle movements which are necessary to say the word.
Intervention by a Speech Therapist can help the patient to comprehend and communicate more effectively, and to be able to function better in his environment.
