The speech therapy can work on teaching people after a stroke with strategies to overcome communication issues such as problems understanding or producing speech correctly (aphasia), slurred speech due to weak muscles (dysarthria), and/or difficulty in programming the muscles of the mouth for speech production (apraxia). Some people might also have issues with social communication,  like taking conversational turns or problems maintaining a topic of conversation.

Many stroke patients have difficulty speaking or understanding words. To improve their ability, speech therapists will work on specific strategies to help them with word retrieval skills as well as conversational abilities such a role playing which is very effective at teaching social cues required for speech production.
