What is it like to live with Aphasia? Aphasia does not affect intelligence. Imagine trying to speak and no-one understanding you. Imagine not being able to understand conversation, make a joke or read a story to your children. These are all realities for people with Aphasia. The good news is that Aphasia can be improved through Speech and Language Therapy. As Aphasia Awareness month comes to an end, we want to leave the last words on Aphasia to people who live with it. This video from Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland is a great reminder that Aphasia is not the end: https://lnkd.in/eCS_5FkN #imstillme #AphasiaAwarenessMonth #speechandlanguagetherapy #letstalkaphasia

Cavernoma Frontal/Parietal Lobe - Aphasia Aphasia is a language disorder that affects how you communicate. It's caused by damage in the area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension. ⭐Although aphasia affects a person's ability to communicate, it doesn't affect their intelligence. Aphasia leaves a person unable to communicate effectively with others. A person with aphasia may have trouble understanding, speaking, listening, reading, or writing. ‣Speaking problems people with aphasia may make mistakes with the words they use. ‣This could be sometimes using the wrong sounds in a word, choosing the wrong word, or putting words together incorrectly. It is usually diagnosed after tests carried out by a clinician – either a speech and language therapist or a doctor. Speech and language therapy is the main type of treatment for people with aphasia.

🌟 Did You Know June is National Aphasia Awareness Month 🌟 What is Aphasia? Aphasia is a language impairment that affects your ability to speak, read, write, and understand language. It’s caused by brain injury or damage to the areas of the brain responsible for language. Importantly, while it impacts language processing, aphasia has no effect on intelligence. Aphasia is often a long-term, life-changing condition that can lead to frustration, social isolation, and strain in close relationships. Shockingly, almost 85% of people have never heard of aphasia, and fewer than 9% can identify it as a language disorder. Awareness is typically limited to those affected or their loved ones. Here at KT Healthcare, it is our mission to improve the wellbeing of people with aphasia, and that of their carers. We want to: help people with aphasia and their carers feel less isolated, and more supported improve the communication skills of those with aphasia increase knowledge and understanding of computer therapy options among those affected by aphasia improve carer confidence and skills in supporting people with aphasia Let’s work together to raise awareness, support and empower individuals with aphasia and educate those around them. 💬❤️ #AphasiaAwareness #RCSLT #NationalAphasiaAwarenessMonth #passionateabouttherapy

Roughly 2 million people in the United States have aphasia, but most Americans have never even heard of it. Aphasia is a language disorder that makes it difficult for people to communicate due to damage to the parts of the brain that control language. This damage can affect a person's ability to understand, speak, read and write.

Why are we not allowing children to have the tools they need to learn due to fear of 'distracting others'? So many young people get branded as 'disruptive' or 'naughty' just purely because they cannot sit still and face the front of the classroom like many others can. In school I was forever turning around, standing up, picking my nails, looking around the room, making small animals with my bluetac and doodling on paper, all whilst simultenously listening to what was going on in the room. Yes, not all students can do this. However more of them will be listening than you think. Let's challenge the learning before immediately attacking pupils because they aren't looking at the board. Nine times out of ten, pupils will already know what works to help them concentrate. They will have a 'go to'. If thats a fidget, blue tac, doodling paper, a time out pass or a pair of sunglasses, as long as they come with guidlines and clear instructions, what does it matter? Some would argue that it isn't fair and that 'the rules are the rules', but would you allow a wheelchair user to have to use the stairs as its 'not fair that other pupils shouldn't get to use the lift?' No, because that isn't what equality is. It's adapting dependant on the needs of the the individual. School is supposed to be where children get inspired for their future prospects, not petrified for what's in store for them. Neurodivergence needs to be taken seriously and we need to teach our kids thay its okay to be different! 🌈 Albert Einstein once said - if a fish judges it's intelligence on it's ability to climb a tree, it will spend a lifetime thinking its stupid. Just because some people cannot write a poem, calculate algebra or sometimes muddle up their b's and d's, does not mean they are inferior or behind expectations - it's our job as educators to find what their 'thing' is! 😇
