What the first appointment may need to clarify.
Assessment is selected according to the history and clinical question. Not every person needs every component.
Therapy should target the communication that matters outside the clinic.
Depending on the assessment findings and diagnosis, therapy may focus on speech clarity, language, communication strategies, participation, home practice and communication-partner support. Goals are selected around the person’s real-life priorities rather than a standard programme.

Common questions about this pathway.
Can speech therapy help after a stroke?
Speech-language therapy may support communication difficulties after stroke. The assessment identifies the person’s current speech, language and functional communication needs and guides rehabilitation priorities.
What should I bring?
Bring hospital, neurology, rehabilitation or previous therapy reports where available, plus a medication list and examples of everyday communication situations that are difficult.
Can a family member attend?
Yes. A communication partner or caregiver can be useful when the patient is comfortable with their involvement, particularly when communication has changed significantly.
Describe the concern in ordinary language.
