What is Apraxia of Speech?

Apraxia of Speech is a motor speech disorder where the brain knows what it wants to say, but has difficulty planning and coordinating the movements needed to speak clearly.

Speech may sound: • Slow or effortful
• Inconsistent (same word said differently each time)
• Broken or distorted
• Better for automatic words than planned speech

Important:
Apraxia is not a problem of intelligence or understanding. With the right speech therapy, communication can improve significantly.

In this video, Gregory – Speech & Language Pathologist explains Apraxia of Speech in a simple, practical way.

COMMON MYTHS About Speech Recovery After a Stroke 🧠🗣️

Many stroke survivors and families are told “nothing more can be done” — and that is one of the biggest myths.

✅ Truth: With proper speech therapy, recovery can continue for months and even years

❌ Myth: Slurred or unclear speech means reduced intelligence
✅ Truth: Stroke affects speech and language areas — not a person’s intelligence

❌ Myth: Talking more will fix speech problems
✅ Truth: Recovery requires structured, evidence-based speech therapy

❌ Myth: Severe strokes cannot improve
✅ Truth: Even severe stroke survivors can make meaningful progress with the right support

WHY SOME PATIENTS TALK BUT CAN'T UNDERSTAND what you’re saying? 🧠

After a stroke, some patients can speak fluently — their speech sounds smooth and normal —
but they don’t understand spoken or written language.

This condition is called Receptive Aphasia (Wernicke’s Aphasia).

🧠 What’s happening in the brain?
The stroke affects the area of the brain responsible for understanding language (usually the left temporal lobe).

Because of this, the person may: • Talk a lot but what they say doesn’t make sense
• Answer questions incorrectly
• Not follow instructions
• Be unaware that their speech is incorrect

Important:
This is not confusion, stubbornness, or memory loss.
The brain cannot correctly process language sounds and meanings.

🎯 Speech and language therapy is essential to help the brain relearn how to understand words, sentences, and conversations.

📹 Watch the video for a clear explanation and real-life examples.

A STROKE PATIENT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING…BUT CAN'T TALK after a stroke — why does this happen?

After a stroke, some patients clearly understand what is being said, follow instructions, and know exactly what they want to say — but the words just won’t come out.

This condition is called Expressive Aphasia (Broca’s Aphasia).

🧠 What happens in the brain?
A stroke can damage the part of the brain responsible for producing speech (usually the left frontal lobe). Understanding language may remain strong, but the brain struggles to:

Form words

Put sentences together

Coordinate speech movements

The person may:

Speak very little or not at all

Use single words or short phrases

Feel intense frustration because they know what they want to say

This is not a loss of intelligence. With early, specialized speech and language therapy, communication can significantly improve.

📹 Watch the attached video to understand this condition and how speech therapy supports recovery.

DYSARTHRIA: When Speech Becomes Slurred After a

Slurred or unclear speech after a stroke is not “just weakness” — it is often dysarthria.
Dysarthria happens when the muscles used for speaking (lips, tongue, jaw, voice) become weak, slow, or uncoordinated due to brain damage from a stroke.

In this video, I explain with clear, real-life examples: • Why speech may sound slurred or muffled
• Why the voice may be too soft, too loud, or monotone
• Why speech may worsen when the person is tired
• How dysarthria affects daily communication and confidence

The good news? With early, targeted speech therapy, many stroke survivors make significant improvements in clarity, strength, and control of speech.

I am Gregory, a Speech & Language Pathologist, based in Nairobi – Westlands, 15th Avenue.
We offer comprehensive speech and language assessments and specialized speech therapy for stroke recovery, including home-based sessions.

Why Mother Tongue Matters in Stroke Speech Recovery

After a stroke, the brain often retains stronger neural connections in a person’s mother tongue. This means recovery is faster, more meaningful, and less frustrating when speech therapy begins in the language the brain learned first.

🔹 Patients understand instructions better
🔹 Emotional expression comes back faster
🔹 Everyday communication improves sooner
🔹 Therapy feels natural, not forced

At Speech Therapy Hub Kenya, we assess and treat stroke-related speech and language difficulties using the client’s strongest language, then gradually support recovery in additional languages where needed.
