Sargent’s Aphasia Resource Center is incorporating bibliotherapy in to their aphasia groups! They recently read a book about identity theft after a stroke. What a great opportunity for the members to talk about their personal experiences with stroke and aphasia! #eauclamaraphasia
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

Connecting through #pictures, this is a very important message!
“Connect, don’t correct. This is more about making a #connection and sharing memories. Focus on connecting with the person, not correcting them...” # aphasia is hidden.

It can take time to regain confidence in communication, but leaning on those in your support system is a key part of aphasia recovery. @JenMahama#EauCLamarAphasia
