AphasiaFriendlyCanada

We're a research and outreach campaign from the University of Windsor. We provide free training and resources for businesses to become Aphasia-Friendly!

[AphasiaFriendlyCanada @AphasiaCanada]

We offer FREE training on what #aphasia is and how to communicate with someone with that has it

[AphasiaFriendlyCanada @AphasiaCanada]

Aphasia is a very isolating and tragic problem for over 100,000 Canadians. The best way to help people with aphasia is to learn how to communicate with them. Get a free lesson at the link in our bio. Become an aphasia ally and spread the word! #aphasia

We learned so much about how we can reduce communication barriers for individuals with aphasia at this great talk. A fitting way to wrap-up Speech & Hearing month. Thanks! @AphasiaCanada #communicateawareness. Our Speaker Series resumes in the fall. Stay tuned!

“We have #aphasia, we have spent hours being taught how to interact with others. But why don’t we spend time teaching those without #aphasia how to interact with us! “This is what we are really #passionate about, Remember, it’s #invisible ! #StrokeAwarenessMonth #braininjury

Back with another #FactFriday! Did you know this?

What's a time that reminded you how diverse #aphasia is and how #diverse the people who live with it are as well?

We'd love to read your responses!

Happy #FactFriday everyone! We realized that our followers who aren't familiar with all the clinical content we may discuss on here, it may be tricky to engage. Here's a quick, literal reference of different SL lingo! #YQG

This friday is a #ResearchFriday!!!

These researchers believe that because people with receptive aphasia have trouble understanding the linguistic content of lies, they are more attuned to the emotional / non-verbal component!

#research #yqg #Windsor #wordsintheworld #Uwindsor

[AphasiaFriendlyCanada @AphasiaCanada]

#FactFriday: There are many different kinds of #aphasia, and each individual has their own strengths and weaknesses. ALL our #strategies broadly apply to any aphasia, and its important to use the ones that'll lead to the clearest #communication.

Wow. What a gift. Hits home for me. A family member who hasn’t engaged with our family for decades reached out to dad on his bday. While not in hospice and no communication disorder, this was a big deal. This is meaningful communication at its core. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
