– aphasia
– survivors
– yes/no
So many people with aphasia and survivors of stroke in my conversation classes have a hard time answering yes when they mean yes, and no when they mean no. Aphasia can make a word come out that you did not mean and I can’t imagine how frustrating that can be.
In the aphasia and stroke exercise in this video, you can respond to 6 questions about “hot springs”, a recent discussion topic in my aphasia conversation class.
Practicing yes when you mean yes and repeating this for a few minutes can really help if you have aphasia or are surviving stroke.
I find people practice too many things and don’t pinpoint the specific skills they want to improve. Doing so can really help people with aphasia make faster speech progress!
Been to a hot spring? I would love to know!
