What is aphasia? 🧠

Aphasia affects how we communicate. It can change:
• Speaking
• Understanding
• Reading
• Writing

It happens when the brain gets hurt. Usually from stroke or brain injury. No two are alike.

💙 Important: Aphasia does not affect how smart you are.

Your thoughts are still there. Your intelligence is still there. Sometimes the words just don't come out the way you want.

You are still YOU.

No waitlists. Just support. Outpatient Speech Therapy.

“I know it. It’s not that I don’t know.” Many of my patients have said this.

Your thoughts are there. Your words are there. 💙

Sometimes they just won't come out.

The silence doesn't mean you have nothing to say. It doesn't mean you're not trying.

We see you. We hear you - even in the quiet moments.

Your struggle is real. Your thoughts matter. You matter.

You're not alone in this silence.

You want to show me your greeting card collection? Sounds great! That’s what I call a meaningful speech therapy session. I can target effective communication with content that matters to my patient! 🙌🏻

Here’s how I made these visual/picture schedules for my 5 year old son with Autism.

1) Make the documents using Canva- I just have the free version

2) Cut a piece of cardboard big enough to fit your visual aid on- I had an empty box lying around I was able to use.

3) Place the visual(s) down and cover them entirely in tape- I used packing tape. This will allow you to mark out each task once it’s done using a dry erase marker that can be wiped clean after.

4) Place and binder clip at the top- if you want to hang it. Done!

I’ve always worked with adults as a Speech Pathologist. My areas of specialty are stroke therapy, dementia education and support, speech and voice. I’m now finding myself using my tools as a communication expert in a new way for me- with my son. I’m learning as I go and we’re finding out what works for him/us. So, I thought I’d share! I really do love a good visual aid. I’m just used to making more adult-looking visuals. Haha. 😊

Hello! I’m Sabrina Cohen, Speech Pathologist, Certified Dementia Consultant, mother of the coolest, funniest neurodivergent boy there ever was, and the owner of Brighter Path Adult Speech Therapy out of Richmond, Virginia. I love my little family, and I love being able to travel around this beautiful city in order to bring speech therapy to my patients homes! I love being able to provide a little bit of comfort and convenience to all my patients by driving to them or meeting virtually. I am proud of what I do but also grateful for this opportunity! Thank you to anyone I’ve come across since starting this business in 2021!
