intelligible
Most of the aphasia center’s patients have had strokes […]
One way we’re seeing improvements is through family members coming in and letting us know they are very happy because the patient is initiating more speech at home and the patient is more intelligible and more verbal

: Being 'verständig' for the moment does not necessarily imply cognitive intactness on the whole. A person who is 'verständig' in the course of a a clinical encounter, might as well experience temporary cognitive defiencies

intelligent
IMO this goes beyond the patient being merely receptive and reasonable - I understand it as referring to the patient being actually intelligent.

amenable
'Verständig' at least in my perception is a very broad term which does neither mean 'verständlich - understandable' nor 'verständnisvoll - understanding'.
It more or less encompasses that the patient understands what is being addressed (verbally) and that s/he is able and willing to comply with this, very similar to the German term 'zugänglich'...
Thus, 'amenable' would be my take here.
'The patient is responsive and amenable' (to...whatever)
BTW: Ich hasse den Ausdruck "ansprechbar" (für "responsive") im klinischen Kontext. "Ansprechbar" ist auch meine Kaffeetasse, nur dass sie trotz wiederholter Ansprache keine Antwort von sich geben mag...;-)
