Aphasia is, by definition, a common language disorder that affects one’s ability to speak, comprehend speech, read, and write. However, the personal impact of aphasia is far more complex. The ability to communicate is fundamental in most aspects of our lives, including family relations, friendships, and employment, as well as for routine everyday activities such as ordering a coffee at your favorite coffee place and scheduling an appointment for an oil change on your car. In this video series, we hear stories from people with aphasia and their families about personal experiences with aphasia; their losses, challenges, victories, hopes, and aspirations.
