How do we create an aphasia-friendly environment? SLPs can help raise awareness of opportunities for friends, family, and community members to learn how to support people with aphasia. #EauCLamarAphasia

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.

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

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

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

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

What is it like to have aphasia? People may not understand your disorder, especially because they cannot see it. #EauCLamarAphasia

#People with aphasia struggle with language issues. Imagine - the loss of language. Of friends. Of jobs. It may be invisible, but it is quite an impactful disability! #AphasiaAwareness #InvisibleDisability
