Phone-in about aphasia on LBC

These was an insightful phone-in on LBC with Shelagh Fogarty today, following Bruce Willis’ announcement that he has aphasia. People with all sorts of levels of aphasia were calling in and it was nice to hear them talk about living with the struggles that it cultivates. I have aphasia following my stroke in 2017. It’s getting better through practise. But it’s good to hear that it’s getting more recognition and I hope it gains traction.

How are you doing? I hope you’re making steps on your recovery, and the voice and swallowing are improving.

Best wishes :+1:
