 The author is a speech-language-hearing therapist who has been engaged in the rehabilitation of post-stroke cognitive dysfunction for over thirty years. This paper reports on various cognitive dysfunctions, such as difficulty in speech production and left neglect, that she herself suffered following her stroke 4.5 years ago. The data of her neuropsychological tests is also presented, together with a survey of the relevant literature.

 It might be quite rare for a person who is an expert on rehabilitation of cognitive dysfunctions to describe her own disorders, and explain the strategies she employed for rehabilitation. Her recovery was drastic. Most of her disorders disappeared during the acute stage. Even her severe neglect improved within one week due to self-practice.

 Through her whole experience, the author realized the mutual dependence of mind and body. It was also noted that knowledge of the disorder, awareness of the condition, and the intention to perform desirable behavior were the keys to recover from cognitive dysfunctions. In conclusion, there remains a possibility of recovery, if one relies on neural plasticity and never gives up rehabilitation. The author hopes this report will be a help to other speech-language-hearing therapists to get better understanding of persons with cognitive dysfunctions who face great difficulties in daily living.
