Speech re-education in patient with motor aphasia in collaboration with family.
The presented paper is an example of family education in managing the patient with motor aphasia following the stroke. The neurological diagnosis confirmed a medium hemiparesis on the right side. During the third week following the stroke, the re-education of speech was taken up basing on the new style of working with patient, i.e. biopsychosocial model of illness and treatment. In this aspect patient is the subject and the therapy is addressed to the patient taking into account his system of values with reference to the illness. The aim of the study--speech therapy--was achieving a maximum integration with the society by solving the problem situation of a patient, i.e. the lack of verbal contact. Speech therapy was performed for 8 weeks and it applied pedagogic and neurolinguistic methods of therapy. The sessions were held every day of maximum 25 minutes. At the final stage of speech re-education the patient had a good verbal contact with the environment.
