This is a look into non-clinical environments and how to make therapy for aphasia for accessible there! Removing barriers to using digital technology seems to be important! @hghinch #EauCLamarAphasia

[Cat Finnie @CatFinnie]

An editorial illustration I made for Bulletin magazine for an article titled "Breaking Down Barriers" - about using technology to make therapy for aphasia more accessible in non-clinical environments.

Thanks to Yvey for AD. 💙

Aphasia groups can be online, in person, or combined and have a lot of different topics. Looking here: https://t.co/Y6ji1Sdrbg there are a variety of group settings from sports discussions to virtual concerts, to meditation and relaxation. @hghinch #EauCLamarAphasia

Jill Bolte Taylor experienced a massive stroke at age 37 that left her unable to walk, talk, read, or recall any of her life. She speaks about her experience during her recovery process, including how she had to relearn language: https://t.co/Rq7MjJZd0A #aphasia #aphasiastrong

Aphasia recovery is a very long process.
It takes a lot of work to make gains.
That takes a lot of discipline.... http://t.co/enZBwz5Tjf

Optimistic October day 9. Certainly life after #Stroke and having #Aphasia and #apraxiaOfSpeech can be bumpy. During this bumpy road to #recovery accept the inevitable mistakes, and learn from them but have optimism that things get easier. #LivingWellWithAphasia #LifeAfterStroke

@divamamacat I love the idea and that it helps but I’m a terrible singer! I wonder if that would make me a less desirable clinician for aphasia patients! 😬

[Jen Mahama @JenMahama]

Another interesting concept to maybe be included in future aphasia treatment! @hghinch

All great questions with aphasia treatment! @hghinch #EauCLamarAphasia

[aphasiacre @aphasiacre]

"Aphasia treatment works for some people... but many questions remain". How much recovery should we expect for an individual? Which treatment is better for an individual? Is there an optimal dose for specific treatments? What are the neural mechanisms of aphasia recovery?
