    Hi Robin – my apologies for the delayed response! I am so sorry to hear about your husband’s stroke and the difficulties you both face in communicating with each other. A lot of folks with aphasia prefer to use external strategies such as writing down words on paper or a white board, or using a communication board with pictures/words to help them communicate. Other folks prefer to have an AAC device with them to help compensate for lost verbal communication. I work with Lingraphica and would be happy to explore some of these strategies with you if you’d like!

    Our Virtual Connections platform is another great resource that might help your husband feel more connected/not alone in this journey. You can take a look at some upcoming sessions here: https://virtualconnections.aphasia.com/events/
