Speech Therapy Dyer IN for Memory Problems

Memory strategies for speech therapy Dyer IN

A large part of a speech therapist’s job in a nursing and rehabilitation center focuses on language and cognition. Speech therapy Dyer IN is often needed for specific memory problems. One of the most common reasons for memory loss can be a stroke. Strokes often cause more issues with short term memory, which is also known as recent or working memory. It is defined as a “system for temporarily storing and managing information required to carry out complex cognitive tasks.” In contrast, long term memory is a “system for permanently storing, managing, and retrieving information for later use.”  speech therapy Dyer IN

Here are some strategies for improving short-term memory following a stroke or other brain injury or disease.

  • Write down the information you need to remember in calendars, daily logs, appointment books or journals. Make it easy to look up the information you need at a later time.
  • Use devices such as tape recorders, iPads, cell phones and iPods to record information that you want to remember.
  • Always place important items in the same place so you will know where to find them when you need them. Designate one shelf or a basket or a certain spot as the as the only place to put keys, glasses, etc.
  • Use timers or alarms to remind you of appointment times or to take medications.
  • Use a calendar or bulletin board to post all appointments and events so you don’t miss anything.
  • Organize your environment. Reduce clutter and get rid of things you don’t use. Simplify your surroundings.
  • Take someone with you to appointments to help you remember all the new information you receive.

These compensatory strategies will help anyone with memory problems to organize their lives and to remember new information.
