This is SO powerful 🧡 #wwfc

I’ve got aphasia but aphasia has not got me! Aphasia is part of the tapestry of our lives that has drawn us together. It’s part of us but does not define us. We’ve been celebrating life with/despite #aphasia We are survivors, thrivers, inspirers! Here are our stories 🧵⬇️

June is national and international Aphasia Awareness Month. Around 40% of people will experience this language disability after a stroke. It can also come as the result of a head injury or neurological condition. Language not Intellect is affected. #Aphasia #CommunicationAccess

“Being different isn’t such a bad thing” Lovely words. #SLT #SpeechTherapy #SLTchat #SpeechAndLanguage

It was wonderful to meet Victoria Grimes who attended the event. Some lovely footage & we got Apraxia in the news again 💙 My super star Zach making me the proudest mummy ever 🌟 Chris Kamara @SteveJamieson12 Mikey's Wish Foundation itv.com/watch/news/cat…

Didn't manage to get out yesterday with my stone due to a heavy marking load so dropped 2 off today. This #rockingaphasia stone is on my local Royal Mail postbox in Sandwell. Hopefully it will make someone think about #aphasiaawareness More info here: nhs.uk/conditions/aph…

My second #rockingaphasia stone made it to my West Midlands Metro stop. If commuters find it please take a photo and share! Maybe you could move it somewhere else to continue r #aphasiaawareness. More info here: nhs.uk/conditions/aph…
