Speech therapy: The best thing for her speech disorder is speech therapy and rehabilitation. Unfortunately, there is no "pill" that will improve everything.

TIA or stroke?: If she has residual findings, this isn't a TIA but a stroke. She needs extensive evaluation of her vasculature, as well as OT/PT.
