Speech Pathology & Audiology Students Association - SPASA

🩵Happy Aphasia Awareness Month!

Aphasia affects a person’s ability to communicate, but it does not affect their intelligence. Millions of people worldwide live with aphasia, often following a stroke or brain injury.

This month, let’s raise awareness, promote understanding, and support those navigating life with aphasia. Every conversation, every act of patience, and every effort to listen makes a difference! 🩵
