Our Gift to You

And we’re not done yet. We once again have prepared a little gift for you; our way of saying thank you for all of your support this year. You can download our free PDF of some of our top stories from 2020 to print out or read on a digital device.

 

The PDF contains helpful tips, such as navigating the grocery store with aphasia and emergency preparedness (including a print-your-own aphasia card). You’ll find daily speech activities that you can practice from home, an overview of Coleman Watson’s aphasia film, and how to create your own intensive speech program. Plus, highlights from on-going projects such as our 1 Minute Aphasia Tips videos or Aphasia Threads.
