Hi there and welcome to allnurses.com

I use the stroke association to get patient information and education, I know it is a UK site but there is some useful information there.

I am not sure if the American stroke association has similar but here is the weblink

I found this website that has a lot of good information about stroke and patient education: www.netce.com.

It's a continuing education website, but you can see all of the course content without paying. The link for the stroke information is here: http://www.netce.com/coursecontent.p...seid=484#BEGIN

It looks like it has a lot of information on the the things you described. Hope this helps!

Sometimes you can't teach what people aren't willing to learn!
