Maybe: Kids recover better than adults, but it depends on how severe the stroke was. Encourage him to keep doing what he loves to do and to go to his therapy sessions.

Can: There is no test than can predict degree of recovery following a stroke (old nomenclature) cerebral infarction (new nomenclature). However the brain is very good at relearning and finding other neurologic tissue to be 'trained'. A child's brain should be more "trainable". Do they know what caused the stroke?
