“The mental health needs of people with #aphasia are not being met,” Dr. Will Evans. For our family, there was deep anguish & we felt SO painfully alone.😟 We started ARC to connect people but more needs to be done to support this difficult journey of aphasia. TY researchers! 👍

No one should walk the aphasia journey alone. #ConnectionMatters #Aphasia

The aphasia journey may start dark and slow..but hope grows. 🌻

🚢 ARC’s 2025 Aphasia Cruise is for couples. 👫 4-nights out of Tampa, Florida with a great SLP Team! Join us. Email [email protected] for details!

David’s doctor 🥼 gifted him a GI Joe watch when he was discharged 🏥 after his stroke. “Be a fighter,” she said. #AphasiaWarrior #NeverGiveUp #PediatricStroke #NonprofitFounder

People with aphasia want to be seen first as WHO they are and not defined first by their aphasia. #PeopleFirst #Identity #Aphasia

🗣️Speech therapists make a profound difference in the lives of those with communication disabilities! They help individuals find their voice and connect with the world around them. We appreciate all that YOU do!
Happy National Speech Therapist Day! 🎉 #SpeechTherapistDay

❓On a Zoom call, we asked people with aphasia this question, “What does aphasia affect?” They shared: “Language AND Life. Jobs. Relationships. Peace of mind. Paperwork. Texting. Making an appointment. Making change. Answering the phone. Ordering at a drive-thru.” 😕 #aphasia
