Talking to Your Family Member/Friend with Aphasia: Conversation Basics – Aphasia Institute

Have you been told that your family member or friend has aphasia?
Like most people, you may never have heard about aphasia before now. Or you may be wondering if your family member has aphasia.
This short video is a companion to an Aphasia Institute pamphlet you may have seen called “Does Your Family Member Have Aphasia? What to Look for and What You Can Do.” The pamphlet includes some basic tips. In this video, we provide a bit more explanation and information.

For best quality, we recommend watching this video on a tablet or computer in full screen.

Do you have comments, feedback, or a story to tell? Let us know below!

    You can download the pamphlet here.

    If you live in Ontario, you can order a “What is Aphasia?” booklet before March 2022 for free!

    "Volunteering at the Aphasia Institute has been an amazing experience. It’s such a great feeling to help someone express themselves, or help someone understand another’s message. It can be challenging sometimes, but that just makes the moment a connection goes through that much more special. More than anything, I really appreciate the strong sense of community that the Aphasia Institute creates and being a part of that community."
