r/aphasia_

My husband is 44 and is 3 weeks post stroke. He has moderate expressive aphasia, with difficulty finding and saying words, along with some trouble reading and writing. He understands most of what is said to him and can communicate basic phrases, but gets very frustrated when he knows what he wants to say but can’t get the words out.
He has started speech therapy last week. For those who have been through this: How long did your recovery take and what helped the most? Did you continue making significant improvements months or even years later?
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. ❤️
