Aphasia & language
Finding the words again, step by step.
A stroke can take away words, names and sentences — aphasia. Structured language exercises at home rebuild communication patiently, one win at a time.
- Word-finding, naming and sentence-building exercises
- Comprehension practice with everyday objects and routines
- Reading and writing recovery where these are affected
- Progress measured session to session, and shared with family
Speech clarity
Slurred speech worked back towards clarity.
When the stroke weakens the muscles of speech — dysarthria — words come out slurred or slow. Targeted oral-motor and articulation practice rebuilds clarity.
- Oral-motor exercises for lips, tongue and breath control
- Articulation drills paced to the patient’s stamina
- Volume and pacing strategies for clearer everyday speech
- Practice using the patient’s own daily phrases — Kannada, Hindi, English or mixed
Swallowing safety
Every meal made safer to swallow.
Swallowing difficulty — dysphagia — is one of the most dangerous after-effects of stroke. Assessment-informed mealtime routines reduce choking and aspiration risk.
- Mealtime routines informed by the clinical swallowing assessment
- Safe posture, pacing and food-consistency guidance
- Swallowing exercises to rebuild strength and coordination
- Caregivers and family briefed on choking warning signs
Home practice & family
Recovery that continues between the sessions.
The therapist visits a few times a week; recovery happens every day. Structured home practice and family coaching turn the whole household into part of the rehab.
- Structured daily practice plans between therapy sessions
- Family coached on how to talk with — not over — the patient
- Coordination with the neuro physiotherapist for whole-person recovery
- Early start encouraged — the first months after stroke matter most
