A powerful and deeply important conversation today on aphasia, and the communication challenges faced by people living with stroke and Parkinson’s.

Did you know around 140,000 Australians live with aphasia, a condition that can affect a person’s ability to speak, understand, read or write.

We were honoured to hear from Dean Fyfe and Robert Heddle fromAphasia SA who shared their lived experiences with honesty, insight and heart. Dean spoke about supporting his wife who lives with aphasia, while Bob shared his own journey following two strokes in 2017.

Thank you both for helping shine a light on the realities of aphasia, and the importance of understanding, support and connection in recovery and wellbeing.
