Speech Pathologist, Chairperson Australian Aphasia Association

New publication! 🎉 Care partners of people with aphasia have unique support needs after stroke. We worked with carers to adapt an existing stroke carer checklist so it better reflects their experiences and priorities. This work helped shape the digital tool known as the Carer Needs Checklist.

Imagine losing your ability to talk but still thinking normally. This happened to Jan nearly 21 years ago and people she meets who don’t know her think that she can’t make decisions for herself because of her #aphasia. This poor understanding hasn’t changed in all that time.

Help us to keep the momentum with this campaign. Donate if you can or host a morning tea or bake sale to raise funds, and keep spreading the word by sharing the link, QR code, and updates.
