🎧 Click to listen: Aphasia inclusion isn't just about including someone in the physical space. It is also about including them in meaningful connection. Here are three simple ways to include someone with aphasia. 1. Give them time. Don't rush. 2. Use all communication. Try to try gestures, pictures, writing, or drawing. 3. Stay patient and kind. Focus on the person, not on their challenges. Your caring presence matters most. Hi, I'm Carol with ARC, the Aphasia Recovery Connection, and we are ARC. We are an aphasia family.
