As we wrap up Aphasia Awareness Month, we want to highlight an important reminder: not all aphasia is caused by stroke.

Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is another form of aphasia that gradually affects a person's ability to communicate. While the cause is different, the impact on everyday life can be just as significant.

This powerful quote from one of our clients captures what aphasia can feel like. Aphasia affects language — not intelligence. People with aphasia know exactly what they want to say, but finding the words can be difficult.

A little extra time, patience, and understanding can make all the difference.

Looking back on a cause close to our hearts! 👣🖤

This past Friday, June 19th, we had the most beautiful morning at the park for the 10th Annual Walkathon for Aphasia! As our shirts say, "Aphasia is a loss of language, not intelligence."

It was so incredibly special to walk this path together with my amazing mom, Colleen. Colleen’s Care Company was deeply honored to support this vital event as a Bronze Sponsor.

Supporting our community and standing beside families navigating these journeys is at the very core of what we do.

A huge thank you to the team at H-PCAP for organizing such an impactful day!

Communication supports go both ways. These dos and don'ts aren't just for clinicians, they're for family, friends, and anyone who wants to show up better.

Save this one. Share it widely. 💚

With aphasia, the right word doesn't always come out. A person may know exactly what they want to say, but their brain struggles to find the words or may substitute a different one instead.

These moments can be frustrating and embarrassing, often making people hesitant to join conversations or speak up.

A little patience and understanding can help someone living with aphasia communicate with confidence and stay connected to the people around them.

Because everyone deserves to be heard, even when the words don't come out quite right. 💜

"You look so healthy."

For many people living with aphasia and communication disorders, this phrase can be a reminder that not all disabilities are visible.

During National AccessAbility Week, we're reminded that accessibility goes beyond physical spaces. Communication accessibility is essential in the daily lives of those living with aphasia and communication disorders.

Supporting conversation creates a "communication ramp" for people with aphasia — making it easier to connect, participate, and be included in everyday life.

A little patience, extra time, and a willingness to communicate differently can help break down barriers and build more accessible communities for everyone.
