I knew he wanted to talk about basketball. I started with the word “basketball”. I used google and listened actively. I added words as I learned more. I was patient. He was excited that he was successful in discussing the game. Finally, we watched a short YouTube video. 34 points?!?!

Clear speech or dysarthria strategies can facilitate speech that is more fluent and easily understood. There are a variety of clear speech strategies so it is helpful to review all of them to determine what is right for your patient!

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.

“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.
