Total recovery of limb function is rare.But some recover 90%of function.Speech is very difficult to recover in toto.The secret is early start of physiotherapy and speech therapy.

Children all develop the ability to control their lips and tounge well enough to make clear sounds in words, at different ages. It has nothing to do with intelligence or effort on their part (I've had gifted students who also were receiving speech therapy). \n\nAt the ages of 3 through 5, we are only really concerned if a person not familiar with the child cannot make out most of what he/she's saying. IF there are only a FEW sounds being regularly missed (especially if they are only "R" or "L"), it is usually recommended to wait with intervention until the child is 8 years old. If these more difficult sounds aren't being made right by the age of 8, that's when some extra help is needed (most kids do master the sounds by then). It has to do with development of the brain's speech control center... all the nerves have to have grown and connected first.\n\nAfter years of research, speech therapy techniques have been developed to help people with clarity/articulation problems make the right sounds when they talk. It takes months or even years of practice, with a trained therapist helping.\n\nI would strongly suggest that if you are a parent (or know the parents) of a 3 to 5 year old child who mostly cannot be understood by someone not familiar with the child, that you take him/her to a speech therapist for an evaluation.\n\nIf you live in the United States, THAT EVALUATION IS FREE, through a law called Child Find. Call your school district's special education central office, and ask to schedule an appointment under Child Find, for a speech-language evaulation.  If the therapist does identify a need for help, the THERAPY IS FREE through the public schools. \n\nDon't let the fact that it is through "special education" freak you out. Most people not already dealing with the special education programming only picture severe/profound children when they think of it. In reality, special education programs service 13 different categories of "differences"/needs, and MOST KIDS GETTING SPECIAL ED SUPPORT HAVE NORMAL SMARTS. They just have something interfering with communication and/or learning at their full potential, like a speech problem, or sensory processing issues (like dyslexia), etc.\n\nMost people in the United States aren't aware that public schools provide therapies and community resource support for children with ANY sort of physiological challenge, even for something very mild like a simple speech/articulation need, starting as early as BIRTH.  The idea is that early intervention means the child will do better in school later.\n\nhttp://www.ldonline.org/article/6231\n\nhttp://ese.sbmc.org/speech_and_language_impaired.htm\n\nhttp://www.speechdelay.com/

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

that depends I assume there is some delay to correct. We would need to know the challange (dislexia, speech?} or the symptoms if the cause is not yet known

I don't know about nerve damage in the body, but I imagine if nerves recover at all, it is slow. I had a brain injury a few years ago and had serious nerve damage. Your brain cells don't regenerate. The nerves have to find a new pathway. \nTherapy for me, was intense therapies every day. Progress was slow and, eight years later, have nervous reactions at times. Treatment is a good diet, exercise, and avoid harmful things like anything harmful for the body.

I have had the same thing and was not given an explanation. The onset of stroke is accompanied by slurred speech and loss of balance.

A brain which is partially damaged is analogous to a computer where some software file has become corrupted.  That particular software will not operate properly.\n\nFor the speech part of the brain, if that has been damaged, and if the damage is limited to that part of the brain, one can LEARN to speak again as recovery takes place.  That is analogous to reprogramming a computer by reloading the damaged software.\n\nHumans program themselves by TRAINING their neurons (nerve cells, arranged in systems and pathways).  Whenever you practice sports, music, math or whatever, you are training your neurons.  When you start doing something perfect kind of AUTOMATICALLY, you have succeeded.\n\nPeople with brain damage may have to learn how to talk almost fronm the baby stage, if the damage is severe.\n\nThe neurologist can tell you how bad the damage probably is.  Damage is caused by trauma (being hit, or hitting your head in a car accident or some other accident), a STROKE (old people have bleeding or a clot in the brain), by a tumor or a tumor removal operation (necessary damage).  These are just the main types, there are others.\n\nThe worst kind of brain damage is to the top of the spinal cord and to the innermost parts of the brain, on the bottom, where it connects to the spinal cord and near there.  Lots of fancy names for parts in that area.  They are VERY IMPORTANT which is why they are in a well protected area.  If these areas are badly damaged, a person turns into a vegetable at best, and most likely will die.\n\nBut damage to speech occurs in a very different area.  Many, many people have recovered quite satisfactorily from damage to the speech areas.  A few may have some lasting deficit, such as slow speech.\n\nDrugs that are illegal can cause grave brain damage in some instances, and you find drug addicts often who have brain damage.

The symptoms of a stroke are generally weakness to one side, slurred speech, drooping facial features to the affected side. Bell's Palsy is facial paralysis, normally affecting one side of the face, and can last from a number of weeks to a number of years.Most patients suspect they have suffered a stroke when first faced by it's effect and a visit to the doctor helps alleviate their fears. Symptoms normally include; a drooping or sagging mouth, facial pain, drooling, loss of taste, inability to close the eye resulting in tearing. Good luck to you, seems like you and your family needs it.

I had my stroke at the old age of 46.  It was difficult the first week in the hospital as I had difficulty talking and my entire left side was weak.  When I got home I practised the exercises I was given to do as therapy and also attended rehab.  I asked the family not to do things for me unless I asked them to.  It was frustrating not to be able to do simple everyday tasks.  And while I intellectually knew strokes could cause depression I never applied it to me.  Shortly after going home I one day decided I just couldn't stand it any more.  Of course I was now suffering major depression but didn't recognize it in myself.  Luckily my Dr did and started me on a regimen to control this.\n\nWhat I am saying is treat your brother the same as always.  Let him be your guide on how much assistance he needs.  And be on watch for the sudden depression - not saying it will happen but it is possible due to hormonal and chemical changes in the brain.

Depends whether if the person has trouble saying the speech sound, then it's a problem with articulation. They also be may be confusing it with a similiar sound within the language, then it's a problem with phonology. It should be corrected with speech therapy.

A stroke is sometimes called a "brain attack." A stroke can injure the brain like a heart attack can injure the heart. Stroke is the result of cerebrovascular disease - disease of the blood vessels in the brain.\nThere are two types of stroke:\n*Ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke. This type of stroke happens when there is a sudden lack of blood flow to some part of the brain, usually due to a blood clot blocking an artery or blood vessel. Often the artery is already clogged with fatty deposits (atherosclerosis).\n*Hemorrhagic stroke. Bleeding in the brain from a broken or leaking blood vessel causes this type of stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke may be due to an aneurysm—a thin or weak spot in an artery that balloons out and can burst.\nEither type of stroke can cause brain cells to die. This brain damage may cause a person to lose control of certain functions, such as speech, movement, and memory. Like a heart attack, a stroke is an emergency and should be treated as quickly as possible. \nKnow that not everyone gets all of the following warning signs of stroke.  And, sometimes these signs can go away and return.  Treatments are most effective if given within one hour of when the attack begins.  If you have any of these symptoms, call 911 right away!\n\n    *Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.\n    *Sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech.\n    *Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination.\n    *Sudden severe headache with no known cause.\n    *Blurred or double vision, drowsiness, and nausea or vomiting

Depends on severity of condition of course.\n\nBut those who think/speak slowly, can't find the correct word, follow a fast-paced 'deep' conversation with ease, etc... well yes they are most likely aware of their condition. They know they are slower then your average bear - unless of course they are so severely impaired they aren't aware of their environment at all - then obviously that would be a no for them. \nBut in general I'd have to say like the man who stutters - The man or woman with a mental deficiency would be very aware of their difficulty and situation.\nIn short... Yes.  Yes they know they are 'different'.

four to six weeks is the prescribed healing period, You will talk like a goon for about 3-5 days. DO NOT drink ANY alcohol for at least 2 weeks, your tongue will develop a yeast infection, and it is not fun.

Phonemic restoration is a powerful auditory illusion in which listeners "hear" parts of words that are not really there.\n\n\n\nIn earlier studies of the illusion, segments of words (phonemes) were replaced by an extraneous sound; listeners were asked whether anything was missing and where the extraneous noise had occurred. Most listeners reported that the utterance was intact and mislocalized the noise, suggesting that they had restored the missing phoneme. In the present study, a second type of stimulus was also presented: items in which the extraneous sound was merely superimposed on the critical phoneme. On each trial, listeners were asked to report whether they thought a stimulus utterance was intact (noise superimposed) or not (noise replacing). Since this procedure yields both a miss rate P(intact/replaced), and a false alarm rate P(replaced/intact), signal detection parameters of discriminability and bias can be calculated. The discriminability parameter reflects how similar the two types of stimuli sound; perceptual restoration of replaced items should make them sound intact, producing low discriminability scores. The bias parameter measures the tendency of listeners to report utterances as intact; it reflects postperceptual decision processes. This improved methodology was used to test the hypothesis that restoration (and more generally, speech perception) depends upon the bottom-up confirmation of expectations generated at higher levels. Perceptual restoration varied greatly wih the phone class of the replaced segment and its acoustic similarity to the replacement sound, supporting a bottom-up component to the illusion. Increasing listeners' expectations of a phoneme increased perceptual restoration: missing segments in words were better restored than corresponding pieces in phonologically legal pseudowords; priming the words produced even more restoration. In contrast, sentential context affected the postperceptual decision stage, biasing listeners to report utterances as intact. A limited interactive model of speech perception, with both bottom-up and top-down components, is used to explain the results.

it wiill really take a long time to recover..stop thinking but it maybe for a month or 1/2 years or 1 years..depends...
