Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
This is common result of stroke and treatment is very difficult and in most cases it cant be fully recovered. Speech is affected becasuse speech centres in brain suffered during this stroke. It cause ischemia of this art of brain. Speech specialists cant help with such disorders. They can help if there is problem in vocal chords and speech apparatus.
Wish you good health. Reagrds
