Aphasia Awareness Month.
June is aphasia awareness month. According to the National Aphasia Association "2 million people in the United States have aphasia, but 84.5% of Americans state that they've never heard the term aphasia."
I want to recommend the documentary When the Words Away Went available on https://youtu.be/xCkRG0cPJ0Y as posted by the Stroke Association.
The work we do as speech-language pathologist is meaningful and contributes to the welfare of those we serve. We make an impact on individuals and their families and it is in a months like this, where we can highlight the highs of our profession to the world!
