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

Going to a free training and displaying the communication access symbol can make others feel more comfortable and confident when walking into your business. #EauCLamarAphasia #inclusion @amandalyn625

[Stroke Association @TheStrokeAssoc]

The Communication Access Symbol was introduced a year ago to show people with #Aphasia, like Jan, which businesses have taken part in free training to help support people with communication difficulties.

What a great resource discussing what we can do to make things more #aphasiafriendly!! Simple sentences, larger font, and white space are just a few of the many. @vanessaziehme #EauCLamarAphasia

There are many ways to connect with other PWA. Joining a Facebook group is one way to safely enjoy social interaction. Even online, you are part of a community💗 @amandalyn625 #EauCLamarAphasia

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

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.

Agree that this visual is awesome! It really shows that with consistent practice over time, the brain continues to recover. #EauCLamarAphasia

[Brooke @brookeduz]

Imagine having to relearn how to connect with others. Aphasia can be isolating. But with the help of others, the road to recovery and learning to live with Aphasia is far more enjoyable 🤍 #EauCLamarAphasia

#Aphasia can be extremely #isolating especially verbal #communication, so games greatly help various #language loss or none at all, games can overcome these barriers & create opportunities, dexterity, #laughter, excitement & achieving goals! 🙌🏼

During aphasia recovery, it is so important to stay connected to loved ones for support and motivation #EauCLamarAphasia

[Kaitlyn Cofty @kaitlyn_cofty]

How does someone get better in their aphasia recovery? It might involve learning to communicate through different modalities. #EauCLamarAphasia

[Brooke @brookeduz]

Aphasia recovery is never ending. the people and strategies PWA encounter/practice will always keep the wheels turning. #EauCLamarAphasia

[Constant Therapy @ConstantTherapy]

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

#aphasiatherapy is life long! Being involved in a group or community events with PWA is important for emotional support and continued growth and recovery. #aphasiastrong #EauCLamarAphasia @amandalyn625

MYTH: Aphasia can only improve for one year after a stroke.
FACT: Research indicates that a person with aphasia can continue to progress significantly for years following a stroke. #aphasia #aphasiastrong

SLPs should continue to provide therapy to people with aphasia for as long as possible despite the popular myth that people with aphasia "plateau" around a year post-stroke. Improvements can still be made in therapy, even if it takes more effort. #EauCLamarAphasia

Look at these amazing pictures! We asked the @bristolstroke online aphasia group to write or draw how it feels to have #aphasia to show the rest of the group. Amazing! #aphasiaart #aphasiaawarenessmonth @TheStrokeAssoc @strokehit
