I went to speech therapist and found it very helpful.
I never had issues with speech before the accident. I also struggled with finding the right word (I still have issues at night).
I tried to return to work and hold department meeting. It would turn into a game of guess the word he is trying to think of. I still have issues with thinking one word but saying a different word.
I have had many concussions (more then 20). I recovered full from all except this last one.
The speech issues have gotten better and I make it most day without issues. I would guess you will see your speech improve
The main strategies I was taught:
1. slow down
2. Substitute a word if you can't think of the first word
3. Use your hands (strange but it helps)
4. Think out the full thought before you speak
5. Be kind to yourself - This will pass
