Minnesota Dept. of Health Boosts Information for Stroke Awareness Month
- The Stroke Association highlighted a recent decrease in the provision of essential evaluations for communication and language recovery among individuals who have experienced strokes in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
- This drop happened even though recent figures reveal that only 24.8% of stroke patients underwent speech and language assessments within 24 hours, and just 35% received the recommended levels of therapy last year.
- Kelly Williams, who had two strokes in 2017 that caused aphasia, exemplifies this issue, as she was unable to say her name for three years and experienced delayed speech therapy.
- Juliet Bouverie, who leads the Stroke Association, expressed deep concern over the recent reduction in essential evaluations for speech and language support among individuals recovering from strokes.
- The decline suggests an urgent need to recruit more rehabilitation staff and provide timely, tailored speech therapy, with ongoing workforce reviews aiming to improve access and outcomes for stroke survivors.
