Stephen's Stroke & Aphasia Recovery Story

Stephen began his brain training program a few months after he suffered a stroke, during which time he was diagnosed with aphasia. By the time he came to LearningRx, he had already undergone 3 aphasia intensives, and he was still wearing special glasses that helped with his peripheral vision. When he began his program, he was not yet back at work, instead focusing on his recovery. Due to his diagnosis, he started with a trial session to make sure that training was a good fit and aligned with the goals he wanted to accomplish post-stroke. Though he struggled with many of the activities, he did not get frustrated or talk down to himself. He also had a very realistic outlook on what was possible, but simultaneously was very hopeful that he could regain a lot of what the stroke caused him to lose. He kept that same attitude throughout the remainder of his 131 program hours and his results were truly incredible to watch.

Within weeks of beginning his program Stephen stated that he felt like cognitive training with LearningRx was the best intervention he had thus far. Overall, the most amazing thing was just to watch Stephen get his life back. When he began it seemed like only a dream for him to return to his fast-paced job at a consulting firm in NYC, but he was able to do this before he even finished. During this time, he also got engaged and married and is now studying to go to graduate school. Stephen’s hard work and attitude towards the program really helped him regain control of his life and he never once let having a stroke at such a young age define him or slow him down.
