Jan has #aphasia as a result of her stroke.
"I need support with communication when I’m shopping, travelling, or having a meal. If shops & businesses train their staff to know how to help me, life will be better & I will feel more part of my community.”
#AphasiaAwareness Month
This is such a simple and easy visual to help everyone learn how to appropriately create an Aphasia-friendly environment! #EauCLamarAphasia @stewartd2648 @h_carruth23

Always a pleasure putting the patient at the forefront of their therapy! Communication books provide great opportunity to really get to know our patients 💬 #AHPsday2021#SLT#aphasia
Hey #EauCLamarAphasia - What does aphasia therapy look like? Some of our thoughts from Missoula, Montana...communication in real life, personally relevant communication, and rich, multi-modal communication support with clinicians, friends, and family
This is why having a communication challenge like #aphasia is doubly concerning. When people assume what I want to say instead of giving me the opportunity to communicate in a way I can, so many things get misinterpreted. Please give us time and patience. https://t.co/imMxQzMJmv
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:

Jan says it's knowing exactly what you want to say, but "words coming out....tricky." #EauCLamarAphasia
