Happy Motivational Monday! Ordering and preparing food is something many of us take for granted—but after a stroke or brain injury, it can be a challenge.

At The Aphasia Center, we work on real-life skills, like this, every day. Check out Allen ordering tacos, following directions, and preparing his own meal after lots of hard work—we’re so proud of you, Allen!

Understanding spoken language can be really tough for many people with aphasia—so what can we do to help?? Add visuals to your conversations! Using pictures, gestures, or real-life items makes your message more clear, concrete, and easier to understand. Plus, it gives the brain extra support to process language.

Progress isn’t just heard… it’s seen. While we often celebrate words and communication, there’s so much hard work happening beyond speech. Every step taken is strength, balance, determination, and resilience in motion. Check out Merv working on his walking...Go Merv!!

Recovery is full-body, full-effort—and this is what dedication looks like. And remember, you've got this!

Last week, we discussed Wernicke's fluent aphasia. This week, let's highlight another type of fluent aphasia...Anomic Aphasia. People with Anomic Aphasia typically:

1. Have difficulty finding the names of people, places, objects
2. Speak in sentences with long pauses
3. Speak in vague language (ex. "stuff" and "things")

Reminder: all aphasia types contain anomia as a characteristic, however, in Anomic Aphasia, anomia is the person’s primary deficit.
