Aphasia can be invisible, with no apparent symptoms. This makes it extremely isolating for people with aphasia. Be kind to everyone you meet and communicate patiently 🧠🫶

Did you know… approximately 1 in 3 stroke survivors experience some form of aphasia? There are nearly 6,000 to 7,500 strokes reported in Ireland per year. This means that thousands of people in Ireland are living with this hidden disability🧠💙
