let's teach kids to be thinkers, not just to get the right answers.

Excited to share our #metaanalysis is out now in #JSLHR! We estimated the #language skills of #youth offenders and provide summative evidence that the youth offenders presented with lower language skills than their nonoffending peers 1/5 @ASHAJournals https://t.co/kcKBLWeOsa

Interesting that this document uses a lot of aphasia friendly aspects (short sentences, white space, pictures) to teach others how to create an aphasia friendly atmosphere for PWA!

Making things accessible for PWA is just as important for digital platforms as it is for physical documents. Here’s are some great do’s and don’t’s when creating digital spaces for PWA. #EauCLamarAphasia

[Amanda Stewart @amandalyn625]

@divamamacat this is great! I'm surprised it hasn't been the norm for a long time now, though. It's sad that so many people with aphasia aren't even able to be understood in a hospital surrounded by so many people who should know and understand their condition.

[Amanda Stewart @amandalyn625]

Bookclubs that are beneficial to people with aphasia, their caretakers, and professionals: aphasia #community inaction. Identity theft is an eye-opening, compelling story that can inspire people of all walks of life.

[Sargent College, Boston University @BUSargent]

Our #Aphasia Resource Center includes #bibliotherapy as part of treatment, hosting a weekly book club 📚 for stroke survivors. For the first time, the group read a story that mirrors their own: @Deb_Meyerson's Identity Theft. @StrokeOnward

Aphasia communities offer people with aphasia opportunities for connection, participation, and extra support; all critical to their well-being.

Recovery is not a straight line. There are ups, and downs, and even plateaus, but it is important to remember that as long as you are working on your therapy exercises, your brain is working on healing. #Rehabilitation #Neuroplasticity #Stroke #TBI #Aphasia

What is DLD? Developmental Language Disorder is a diagnosis given to children and young people who have life-long difficulties with speaking and understanding language that are not associated with another biomedical condition

[All On The Board @allontheboard]

Today is ‘Developmental Language Disorder (or DLD) Awareness day’. It’s an invisible disorder. Let’s help spread awareness and if you think that you or someone you love may have DLD please seek support.

@kcmhowell Interesting how these activities parallel our developmental language class. Most of these activities would work great with our preschool/school age kids as well, slightly modified of course!

[Amanda Stewart @amandalyn625]

@DanaKloeppner This is very cool! Seems similar to the experience sampling method that @TomSatherSLP discussed in class a few weeks/days/a month (?!) ago.

[Amanda Stewart @amandalyn625]

#aphasiatherapy looks like:
"Escape This," a class offered at @StrokeComeback

Focus on speech clarity, language use, and problem-solving as you work with your group to solve the escape room puzzle

[Amanda Stewart @amandalyn625]

#aphasiatherapy benefits greatly from technology like @cuespeak

Beyond traditional "picture naming," Cuespeak allows an SLP to customize exercises for specific linguistic needs, and emulates the processing demands of conversation.

#EauCLamarAphasia

[Cuespeak @cuespeak]

Latest update to Cuespeak adds sentence-level articulation videos, with video for whole sentence, plus individual videos for each word AND scroll down for syllable videos. Slow play, and record your own speech attempts. Are we good to you or not?!#aphasiatherapy #apraxia

What's it like to have #aphasia ?

Invisible communication problems leave stroke survivors feeling abandoned by their health care providers.

This new technology brings hope and a promise to people #livingwithaphasia

Stroke survivor gets tech support to speak again. And Emily from @livingwithaphasia is on the news page too.

Powerful video showing what it's like to have #aphasia, and how the power of human connection can help enrich the lives of families affected by a life without words.

@LucieLanyon @DrSLMoss @aphasiaLTU What a beautiful relationship. "She's just too important to care about what people think." 🥰

[Amanda Stewart @amandalyn625]

What is it like to have aphasia?

Your neologism,(when people living with #aphasia use nonsensical words in conversation) could inspire a classic children's novel:

[Stroke Association @TheStrokeAssoc]

Roald Dahl's The BFG was inspired by his wife, Patricia Neal’s #aphasia, a common condition that affects the language or speech of some stroke survivors. #RoaldDahlStoryDay
