Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and the leading cause of disability in the U.S. A stroke can have various communication effects, one of which is aphasia. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, which is a language disorder that affects the ability to communicate.
June is National Aphasia Awareness Month, which is a national campaign to increase public education around the language disorder and to recognize the numerous people who are living with or caring for people with aphasia.
We join the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association in their efforts to increase aphasia awareness by sharing communication tips, the effects of having aphasia, assistive devices for those with aphasia and more.
