- Stephen began his brain training program a few months after he suffered a stroke, during which time he was diagnosed with aphasia. By the time he came to LearningRx, he had already undergone 3 aphasia intensives, and he was still wearing special glasses that helped with his peripheral vision. When he began his program, he was not yet back at work, instead focusing on his recovery. Due to his diagnosis, he started with a trial session to make sure that training was a good fit and aligned with the goals he wanted to accomplish post-stroke. Though he struggled with many of the activities, he did not get frustrated or talk down to himself. He also had a very realistic outlook on what was possible, but simultaneously was very hopeful that he could regain a lot of what the stroke caused him to lose. He kept that same attitude throughout the remainder of his 131 program hours and his results were truly incredible to watch.
Within weeks of beginning his program Stephen stated that he felt like cognitive training with LearningRx was the best intervention he had thus far. Overall, the most amazing thing was just to watch Stephen get his life back. When he began it seemed like only a dream for him to return to his fast-paced job at a consulting firm in NYC, but he was able to do this before he even finished. During this time, he also got engaged and married and is now studying to go to graduate school. Stephen’s hard work and attitude towards the program really helped him regain control of his life and he never once let having a stroke at such a young age define him or slow him down.

Aphasia, my description was that the words go across your forehead like tic a tape but don’t stop for you to read. I look at people talking and thinking “What the hell are they crapping on about?” Then when they realise I am having trouble they ask me do I want them to repeat what they said thinking I am going deaf. Well meaning people and relatives won’t shut up and will “throw words” at you and they will be way out of left field and honestly you now have a head full of unnecessary junk words that had nothing to do with the conversation. My favourite word “Laters”. Means later on we may have this conversation or not.
I have aphasia stroke last January 2023 and I was 34. I could not write and speak during that time. I couldnt get a job.
Plz helpu my stroke sar
Did Stephen complete his 131 hours on line or in person? Could he speak more then 3 words when he started?
He completed approximately 100 hours in person, returned to his consulting group in NYC, completed the remaining portion of the package online on weekends and after work, and added additional hours.
Following his stroke, he experienced limited speaking abilities and had no understanding, writing, or reading skills. However, after undergoing three intensive aphasia programs, his language abilities improved by approximately 30% during his recovery. When he discovered LearningRX, his diagnosis test results were very low but improved significantly.
Do u know why you had a stroke so young ?
He had a birth defect called AVM: the artery and vein in the left side of his brain had twisted since he was born, but didn't know that at the time. Very rare to have AVM, but even more rare for it to rupture. His survival rate from the intensity of his hemorrhagic stroke was 13%.
