Problems

Misty and her husband owned several businesses. She was head of her business, largely doing sales and running the sales departments. After her stroke, she was largely confined to a wheelchair and could not run meetings, sell cars or run her office. She really enjoyed engaging with customers and her staff.

She had 3 children she wanted to communicate with as they grew up. She usually spoke in 1-2 word sentences with a lot of overuse of general speech, such as “Oh, Lord”. When she got stuck word-finding, the conversation would just stop. She did not have any strategies. Misty often felt like people would talk over her and not include her in their conversations.
