Stroke Speech Therapy Worksheets

This Stroke Speech Therapy Worksheet is designed to be completed by speech-language therapists and their clients struggling with aphasia post-stroke. This should be a collaborative effort, particularly at first, with the SLT assisting their client to different levels depending on their needs.

Speech Language Therapists often assign homework to their clients to continue the therapeutic work between sessions, and this worksheet could definitely be a great homework item. Before you send your client off to complete it on their own, though, ensure they understand the task and have experienced working through it with you before. You may also choose the verb, or some of the “Who” and “What” words together before they go away to complete it independently.

There are specific areas of the brain that produce and understand speech or language. As such, someone can have a sudden onset of aphasia following a stroke if these areas were damaged. Damage to different areas will result in different types of aphasia.
