There is help...but The first question that you need to answer for me is whether or not this problem was due to a stroke or some other cause? If this is acquired and even if it's from a stroke or other known cause I would first get a NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL evaluation in order to comprehensively understand the nature of the verbal, written, and memory problems you are experiecing. This testing will help clearly localize the problem within the brain itself. Once that is done then, SPEECH THERAPY specialists can work with you on specific exercises and training that can address the issues as to why the brain is making these mistakes or failing to process things in the right way.
