This month we are celebrating #Aphasia Awareness month. Aphasia is a language and communication disorder caused by damage to the language centres of the brain. Around a third of people who survive a stroke experience aphasia – that’s more than 350,000 people in the UK.
Today we've launched our new 'Getting Online for People with Aphasia' guide, to help stroke survivors who have aphasia with the skills they need to get online and use tools, such as:
- Skype
- WhatsApp
- Facebook
- Zoom
#Aphasia Awareness Month
Our CEO @JulietBou said: “This guide provides a vital lifeline and gives you the skills and confidence to get online. It’s particularly helpful for keeping in touch with loved ones, guiding you through things like video calling."
