Aphasia Readers

“A mother’s hug lasts long after she lets go.” —Unknown
Thank you to all mothers today who love, hug, and give their all daily.💐

I thank God every day for the opportunities He gives me to share my passion for aphasia and stroke awareness. 🙏🏼

Today, I had the privilege of sharing Ryan’s story and how it inspired the creation of Aphasia Readers at Good Morning Aphasia at Georgia State University.

I also left feeling inspired by the incredible professionals, SLPs, student clinicians, caregivers, and friends with aphasia who share this same passion and purpose.

Truly not a bad way to end the week 💜
