You may have heard the words “aphasia” and “dysphagia” when supporting a loved one’s health journey and wondered what they mean and how they differ.

June is National Aphasia Awareness Month—a fitting time to highlight this communication disorder and contrast it with dysphagia, another disorder patients may face after injury or illness.

Aphasia affects a person’s ability to speak, read or write—although not necessarily their thinking. After a stroke or brain injury that damages the language centers in the brain, a patient may have trouble finding the right words, understanding what others say or comprehending text.

Dysphagia is the difficulty in swallowing, and can occur as a symptom of many different conditions, including brain and muscle disorders.

Butler, Pennsylvania resident Peggy Downey, 56, managed her chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by adjusting her activity level based on how she was feeling. However, one weekend Peggy found herself struggling to catch her breath and frequently dropping things. She also noticed that her right foot was dragging when she walked, knocking her off balance. It was the start of a health journey that took her from a medically induced coma to Select Specialty Hospital - McKeesport and then to Select Medical Rehabilitation - Pensacola for recovery.

Clark Crist once helped MLB players like Kenny Lofton (Cleveland Guardians), Mike Leake (Seattle Mariners) and Albert Pujols (St. Louis Cardinals) sign their contracts. Then suddenly the former player, manager and Major League scout needed help himself. He suffered a massive stroke, which affected his ability to walk, feed and dress himself.

In addition to friends and former teammates like Terry Francona (The University of Arizona, Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox), Barry Larkin (Cincinnati Reds) and Luis Gonzalez (Arizona Diamondbacks, Houston Astros), Clark needed a coach. Instead he found a team. The therapists at HonorHealth Rehabilitation Hospital helped Clark come home again.

Finding specialized care for your loved one with medically complex needs can be difficult, even overwhelming. At our critical illness recovery hospitals, we focus on five recovery areas, known as the Five Whys, which are vital to each patient’s journey toward independence.

These skills may seem simple but for those recovering from catastrophic illness or injury, they often need to relearn them. Our multidisciplinary team consists of pulmonologists (doctors who specialize in treating respiratory illnesses), respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, pharmacists, dietitians and nurses.

Each of the Five Whys is central to patient recovery, helping to identify opportunities for improvement in order to accelerate the ability to go home.

Many of our patients struggle to speak, swallow or think clearly when they transition to our care. They’re recovering from injury or illness and want to talk with a loved one, eat their favorite food and manage their daily activities.

Certified speech-language pathologists (SLPs) play an important role in making that happen. As part of a multi-disciplinary care team, SLPs diagnose communication and swallowing conditions and create individualized plans to address them.

For some patients, that may mean exercises to strengthen their tongue, lips and throat. For others, it might be activities to improve memory and problem solving—all with the goal of getting them back to their lives.
