How to communicate with somebody with Aphasia! Like and share this brilliant infographic.


This month, as you may know , sees Aphasia Awareness Month.

Aphasia is a language disorder that impacts our ability to communicate. Very often caused by strokes that occur in areas of our brain which control speech and language. You can check out signs of strokes here.

Please remember that Aphasia does not affect intelligence. Stroke survivors remain mentally alert, even though their speech may be jumbled, fragmented and sometime impossible to understand.

Typical signs and symptoms of Aphasia include:-

An inability to use language in ordinary circumstances.
Difficulty communicating in normal activities such as home and work.
Feelings of isolation.

To help promote awareness we are sharing a very useful infographic produced by the American Stroke Association. This gives some very useful tips on communicating with people with Aphasia.

Please can you pass it on!

Thanks in advance.
