7 ways to cue Semantic :describe what they want to say Graphemic : what the first letter is Phonemic :gives sound Rhyming cue Sentence completion Giving them more information Model
When I talk to my grandma (she had a stroke about 2 months ago and now has broca’s aphasia) I can usually figure out what she’s trying to say because she’ll point to an object to give context and then I ask her what I think she means and if she says yes we work on that word together and she can typically get it when I help her sound it out and the look on her face when she finally gets it is priceless, she gets so excited and keeps saying it over and over like, “lamp, lamp, lamp! That’s a lamp!” It’s quite fun to watch.
This is great! I had aphasia for six months after a traumatic brian injury. I feel like I'm 95% recovered but long words trip me up - like "individualism", etc. I'm one of the lucky ones. Thank you for your video!! Speech therapy was so helpful!
Cueing aphasia starts with people to read individual words based on RU-vid slowly giving grade school words in short videos. RU-vid poster Complabteacher does this with vocabulary videos for children in various grades kindergarten through 4th grade, even though his videos are not mean for aphasia. Grade school videos are better to restart your memory just by giving brief sample of how to say words. It works for me so far in first months of stroke.
Madam you are very good speaker. Your advice and suggestions for aphasia patients are useful. And also you are looking very beautiful and gorgeous in this video
Thank you for sharing this. Rhyming will be good. Do you have information on anything art-therapy related for connecting with people suffering from wernickes aphasia? Blessings.
I think I have this when I turned 17 last year during the pandemic. I started to have a real bad problem butting sentences together, whenever I would talk it’s like I know what I want to say but when I spoke the words come out I be questioning myself weather I said my sentences correctly . And when I read I get so tongue tied
These are helpful, but for a person who has aphasia, people who have no idea what word I am trying to say cannot cue me. And I am someone who usually describes the word, but still nobody else can figure it out, which is most frustrating.
My brother can't pronounce many letters/ words but others are not too bad but he doesn't get any help with speech therapy because they take him saying no as gospel but we were told his yes and no answers wernt reliable because sometimes he uses both those answers to a question you'll ask him. He is only 48 and had his stroke when he was 43 but he also deals with medication for Schizophrenia which he was diagnosed with yrs before his stroke and that medication has some bad side effects where he has low mood, no motivation , depression , lathergy etc. It's so sad seeing him so isolated but he still wants his independence but he doesn't get a lot of support from his mental health team and we as his family for what we can for him but it's hard to watch him 24/7 as he's shut us out before for being too overpowering for him even though we are only trying to help and have his welfare at heart 😪
I have a similar situation with my husband only, he's bi-polar. My husband gets angry when I push him to try. It's nearly impossible to communicate with him. You have my sympathy!
I am in similar circumstances with my brother. It's hard to watch from the sidelines. We can only persistently push for them to receive better help. Any progress?
I'm in the same situation with my younger brother he is only 33 ... he can say short words and read small words but not long sentences.. he is brilliant and was quite an avid reader before this happened to him:( it is heart breaking :( my brother has schizophrenia as well for a long time before the stroke as well... it makes his distrustful of people and suspicious doesn't want to attend speech therapy :/ my only advice is keep trying when he is in a good mood... God bless you you're not alone ♥
Also u may have tried but advocate for him at a speech therapy.. they should know people with aphasia mix up words... makes me mad when instructors don't try to be more understanding...
How can you cue them when you don't even know what they want to say? It's been almost 9/12 yrs. post-stroke for my husband. The stroke was massive, he has every problem with speech you can have after a stroke. The therapist told us like 5? They said he would never walk or talk again. He walks, speech is spontaneous when he works on it. Keeping him motivated and working on it is the hard part. We are in our 60's, I don't have time to sit with him and be a speech therapist since keeping up with everything else takes all my time and energy. He has an Ipad that was set up for him with speech programs, getting him to use it is another story. He used it in the beginning but, gave up after a while.
I just asked myself this same question, which is what brought me to this video. I’ve had a similar experience with my mom having an aneurysm but your husband sounds farther along in his improvements. I just want to tell you that you’ve done a fantastic job! 👍 He couldn’t have come so far without the love, faith, patience, and care that you’ve given him everyday! Everyday you two get to spent together is a proof goodness pumps through both your veins!
@@cgsenior2007 The word "FAITH", that's the key. We wouldn't have made it this far without it! Thanks for everything you said. Don't give up on your mom. When they tell you no improvements can be made after the first year it's not true! I've looked at an old picture taken right after the stroke and was horrified by how the stroke-affected side of my husband's face looked back then. Just the improvement in his facial tone is amazing! I wish I could find a video on here to teach me mind-reading, lol. God Bless both you and your mom.
I have a minor case of this I think, but I’m 19, I had brain damage as a kid, it stunted my learning and my speaking, I can’t seem to have information come out my head quickly when I’m taking to people and jumbled my words also, it’s so annoying.
