Thanks to Dr. Audrey Holland for coming to talk to @PittCSD grad #SLP students about #aphasia last week! Key points from our discussion:
1)Get PWA connected to other PWA! Community provides support and models growth and recovery in a way clinicians cannot.
Join @VAPittsburgh and the Veterans Research Foundation of Pittsburgh for a book signing by author & stroke survivor @TedWBaxter in honor of #WorldStrokeDay. This event is free to the public. Registration is required. Space is limited. Register today: https://t.co/Vo8CmyhF4A!
Thanks to Sarah Wallace (@sarahliz511) for the great talk at @PittCSD today on text-to-speech and reading comprehension in #aphasia. PWA tend to prefer auditory+written modalities together, which also improves efficiency. Check out more of her work here! https://t.co/k2VPJptLem
One way to provide confidence and help recovering from a terrible #stroke, #aphasia, etc. is to join an aphasia book club. An ideal setting to rebuild your communication and language skills. Check it out...

Love @BrianneKosch's comments. Individuals with aphasia and their care partners are experts too. They LIVE with it!
Project BRIDGE brought ALL the experts to the table! People with aphasia, rehab experts, caregivers, researchers, & more! TY @JackieHinckley - a trailblazer!
Aphasia Tip: When texting or emailing a person with #aphasia: 1. Keep it simple; 2. Add visuals; 3. Use voice messages instead. https://t.co/veyRrWMA0X
