June is national Aphasia awareness month. If you have found this article, you probably are already keenly aware of Aphasia and its effects.
My hope is that more Americans will become knowledgeable of what Aphasia is and is not. People who suffer from Aphasia have difficulty communicating. They are okay cognitively.
This month, please help me inform the American public that Aphasia affects communication and not the mind.
Last June, I wrote an article for a special section the Washington Times published for National Aphasia Awareness month. You can read it by clicking here www.print2webcorp.com/news/washingtontimes/aphasiaawareness/20090611/p2_s1.htm.
If you have an Aphasia support group, plan a project to inform your community about Aphasia. If you are not a member of an Aphasia support group, find one. You can start by looking at http://www.aphasia.org/ for groups in your area.
Hope you have a Happy June!
