If you ask the patient to name objects you point to, they probably can't name all of them (without assistance), but they can often repeat it back if you say the word first. If they can not repeat the word they may find an articulation therapy program helpful.Language may be disjointed and sentences may be "telegraphic". They might say "Daughter...university...smart... girl....good...good." instead of "My daughter is smart. She's at the university. She's very good at her work".
