Week 1 of #RockingAphasia is complete. We've seen rocks hidden from the USA to Italy,
From Scotland to Borneo.
And lots of places between and beyond!
Thanks for putting #aphasia on the map this #AphasiaAwarenessMonth

No one plans a stroke. It comes with enormous physical, emotional, and financial costs.
Already, stroke survivors* struggle to access benefits like #PIP - and these cuts will leave more & more families affected by stroke & disability, with less & less. We must do better.

Jan has #Aphasia a #languagedisorder caused by a #stroke in her case.
Aphasia affects her #speech , #writing & #reading
This is an example of not understanding a written sentence. Jan can often identify a keyword & make a guess, but she was stuck here.
Once she hears the sentence it makes sense💜
