@charliehasapen#EauCLamarAphasia It’s definitely important to make sure each person with aphasia feels comfortable! Building relationships can really make a difference in therapy. We’ve learned in class that humor is a great way to build rapport!
The Life Participation Approach to Aphasia provides an aphasia-friendly environment by minimizing barriers, focusing on strengths, & using appropriate supports. These supports are ones that can be carried out into real life situations! #EauCLamarAphasia@charliehasapen

I love this visual. Right after the #Stroke, I felt everything was a big deal. I felt as if I ruined all our plans for the future. With time everything about this time feels lighter.
@DementiaUK These are two souls that mean the world to me, my uncle & my Goldendoodle, Molly. My uncle has Primary Progressive Aphasia and Molly has been his unofficial therapy dog all the way through.They love each other dearly. Molly gives him the unwavering care & support that he needs.💕
Emma’s stroke left her with several long-term disabilities, aphasia and unable to return to work. She now attends one of the Stroke Association's Life After Stroke Groups to help raise awareness of the charity & stroke.

Aphasia can bring upon frustration, isolation, & often leads to depression. It’s important that we advocate to give these individuals the support they need & deserve ❤️ #EaucLamarAphasia
