Hi Manoj,
StrokeLine here - we are a team of nursing and allied health professionals.
Did you mean you had a stroke 3.5 years ago? If so, I am sorry to hear of your experience but glad that you are reaching out to the community on EnableMe.
You are right. Aphasia is serious, it occurs when the parts of your brain that contain language is damaged. This can affect your speaking, listening, reading and writing. Please view our Aphasia handbook https://strokefoundation.org.au/media/c3qjm2zw/sf1629_aphasia-booklet.pdf
if you have not already.
And yes, a speech pathologist can help with treatment for your specific difficulty. This might mean working with them on your own or in a group. You may use a computer or tablet to work through exercises. You may also be given new ways to communicate, such as using gestures, or a board, book or computer. Your speech pathologist can also help your family and friends learn to help you communicate.
If you need further information and support, give us a call on StrokeLine. Our team will give you the time and support you need to communicate.
Call 1800 787 653 or email strokeline@strokefoundation.org.au
StrokeLine is open Monday to Friday, 9 am – 5 pm Australian eastern time (NSW, VIC and ACT time).
