To determine how much of the maximum six years (600%) of Pell Grant the student uses each year, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) compares the actual amount awarded for the award year with the scheduled award amount for that award year. A student who uses 100% receives the full award.
Hearing loss is not routinely assessed after stroke. Furthermore, because of other severe symptoms patient may not be aware of their hearing loss at the time of stroke. Consequently, hearing loss can remain undetected yet may have important implications for rehabilitation.
Speech problems following stroke sometimes recover within hours or days, however, some communication problems are more permanent. Some people had help from a Speech and Language Therapist to aid their recovery (see 'Stroke recovery' Communication disorders'). The amount of recovery that can be achieved varies depending on the area of the brain that has been affected and the extent of the damage.
