Music and art can help people with aphasia to express themselves. Jonathan made a virtual recording of the Aphasia choir at the start of the pandemic and during the pandemic began planning a documentary about the condition and how it affects many thousands of people every day.

be very severe, affecting speaking, writing, reading, and listening. While specific symptoms can vary greatly, what all people with aphasia have in common are difficulties in communicating. #AphasiaAwareness

Lots of organisations need some training to understand and support people with #aphasia - the pub where they asked ‘has the cat got your tongue’? The cinema where they said ‘come on, you don’t look disabled!’ Also banks, with humiliating security questions #aphasiaawarenessmonth

This guideline is a really key consideration that will support users with #aphasia: "Simplicity — Enabling familiar, consistent interactions that make complex tasks simple and straightforward to perform." Keep actions familiar, predictable and direct. #AphasiaAwarenessMonth

W is for #Writing 💜 as #Aphasia is a #LanguageDisorder it can affect writing too. Jan cannot write full sentences anymore BUT writing helps us communicate everyday 😊 it's our most useful #communication strategy! #AtoZofAphasia #Aphasia #Stroke #AphasiaAwarenessMonth

X is for Xtra Time! (OK we cheated a bit!)😊But giving & allowing xtra #Time when communicating with a person with #Aphasia is the number 1 helpful thing you can do! Interrupting or talking over someone disrupts language processing further💜 #AphasiaAwarenessMonth #AtoZofAphasia
