Скачать или смотреть Let’s Talk About Aphasias | How To Be Patient (Ep 32)

What is aphasia, really and what happens when your brain no longer cooperates with your ability to speak or understand language? In this episode, Preston and Margaret tackle the messy, frustrating, and often isolating world of language disorders, focusing on the real-life implications of aphasia.
They walk through the clinical causes, what it looks like day-to-day, and how aphasia differs from other speech and cognitive issues. Along the way, they share stories of miscommunication, explore the frustrations of being misunderstood, and dig into how patients and clinicians can better work together when words are hard to find.


Takeaways:
Aphasia isn’t about intelligence—it’s about access.


There’s more than one kind of aphasia—and none of them are simple.


Communication breakdowns aren’t just frustrating—they’re isolating.


Not all “word-finding problems” are created equal.
.
Listening might be the most important clinical skill we overlook.
