If you have come across #aphasia for the first time recently, and would like to understand more, please watch this excellent video from @KatieMonnelly and @TheStrokeAssoc.
#BruceWillis #Marlon #Emmerdale
For anyone watching #Emmerdale, you may have noticed that #Marlon is having trouble communicating and is receiving speech and language therapy.
But what does this therapy involve, and how can it help stroke survivors communicate with their loved ones? @KatieMonnelly explains 👇
