STROKE RECOVERY GROUPS
ABOUT THE GROUPS
The stroke recovery groups at the USC Speech and Hearing Center are for those people who have difficulty communicating as a result of stroke. This problem is referred to as aphasia. The following are some of the symptoms that people with aphasia have (not all persons with aphasia have all of the symptoms):
  1. Difficulty coming up with the right words to say.
  2. Hard time understanding the speech of other people.
  3. Difficulty with reading and writing.
WHY JOIN A STROKE RECOVERY GROUP?
The people that attend the groups receive therapy to improve their language function. This is accomplished by working on communication in a group setting with other individuals who have similar problems under the supervision of a certified speech-language pathologist. The groups also provide the opportunity for individuals to interact with and receive support from other persons who have suffered a stroke.
