Excerpt

The predominant communication disorders post-stroke include aphasia, dysarthria and apraxia of speech. These disorders and their impacts are briefly outlined. The chapter then focuses on the results of an evidence synthesis resulting in 18 evidence-based recommendations for the assessment and treatment of communication disorders acquired after stroke.
