Post-Stroke & Acquired Neurological Communication Rehabilitation

Rebuilding Communication After Stroke or Neurological Injury

Stroke, brain injury, and other neurological conditions can affect speech, language, cognition, and the ability to express or understand ideas. These changes can feel overwhelming, both for the individual and their loved ones. Everyday activities such as having conversations, recalling words, following instructions, or coordinating speech may suddenly become difficult.

At American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City, our Post-Stroke & Acquired Neurological Communication Rehabilitation provides specialized, evidence-based therapy for adults seeking to regain communication skills and confidence. We work with you at your pace, helping restore abilities, strengthen independence, and support emotional wellbeing.

Who This Service Is For

This therapy is designed for adults who have experienced:

• Stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic)
• Traumatic brain injury
• Brain tumors or neurosurgery
• Neurological illnesses affecting speech or language
