Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Today’s tip is all about making communication easier in busy shopping environments because crowded, loud stores can be especially challenging for people with aphasia or anyone who finds quick verbal exchanges difficult.

Whether you’re supporting someone or planning for your own outing, here’s your holiday communication toolkit.

Prep Ahead: • Save photos of items you need to a dedicated phone folder  • Write down key words or a list in your notes app or on paper

In the Moment: • Use gestures to point or mime. • Show your prepped photos or notes to clerks or companions • A smile and patience go a long way!

Combining these strategies can reduce stress, save time, and make the experience more enjoyable for everyone. Communication isn’t just about talking, it’s about connecting, and there are many ways to do it!

Wishing you a peaceful and joyful day. Share this toolkit to spread some practical holiday cheer! 💙🛍️

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Let’s talk about neuroplasticity, the real reason recovery is possible.

Did you know that your brain is constantly capable of change? This ability is called neuroplasticity, and it’s the foundation of all stroke and aphasia rehabilitation.

Here’s what that means for recovery: » Your brain can rewire itself. After an injury, healthy areas can take over functions from damaged ones.

» It needs to be activated. Like a muscle, the brain strengthens what you use. Targeted therapy provides the “exercise.”
 » Movement matters. Physical activity increases blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients that fuel this rewiring process.
 » So does connection. Social interaction and conversation provide the essential, real-world “practice” your brain needs to rebuild language pathways.

In short: Neuroplasticity is the mechanism, and your daily efforts are the fuel. Every bit of practice, in therapy, on a walk, or in conversation, is actively helping your brain build new roads to recovery. 🧠

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know aphasia is often called an “invisibility disability”?

When you see someone with aphasia, you might not see any obvious signs of a disability. They aren’t using a wheelchair; they might look perfectly healthy. But inside, they are navigating a profound and exhausting communication barrier that is completely invisible to the outside world.

This invisibility has real consequences:
- It leads to public misunderstanding and impatience
- It can result in people being treated as if they are unintelligent or rude
- It creates a deep sense of isolation, as one person powerfully expressed: “It’s hard enough to deal with aphasia, but it’s even harder to go out in public and see how you’re treated.”

Understanding that aphasia is an invisible struggle is the first step toward compassion, patience, and creating a more inclusive community. The disability is in the disconnect between the brain and language, not in the person’s appearance.

Help us make the invisible, visible. Share this post to spread understanding. 🌟

Today marked our last South Delta program before the winter break, and it was filled with fun, laughter, and festive activities! 🎄✨

A big, big thank you to the Jazzagals and their director, Gayle, for filling the morning with holiday spirit through their beautiful music. 
Did you know we have an inside connection with the Jazzagals? Gayle is also one of our wonderful volunteers at our North Delta program — we’re so lucky to have her!

We also enjoyed some lively fitness activities led by Rachel, including a much-anticipated snowball fight to finish off the day!
 What a joyful way to wrap up the season! We can’t wait to see everyone next week at our Christmas party! 🎁

A DSRS member (and her lovely family) dropped by this past week, to vote on our Christmas tree! In these pics, Louise shows you just how easy it is to vote:

1. Drop off your non-perishable food items or unwrapped toys, and get a ballot for each one you bring, and...

2. Vote for our tree!

We hope you love our tree — and that you’ll enjoy meeting our family of very friendly bears 🎄🐻‍❄️

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

This week’s fact is about YOU and the powerful role you can play.

One of the most impactful parts of aphasia recovery doesn’t come from a clinic, it comes from everyday conversations. You can be a fantastic communication partner and make a world of difference just by adjusting how you chat.

Here’s how: ⏳ Give them time. Rushing increases pressure. 🗣️ Speak simply. Use clear, short sentences. ✅ Confirm & encourage. A nod or a “take your time” means a lot. ✍️ Get visual. Use gestures, point, or write a key word.
