Speaking from almost 30 years of experience living with aphasia, the author offers suggestions for health care professionals who relate to persons with this disorder. Persons with aphasia should be involved in meaningful activities, learn to accept limitations, build trusting relationships, strengthen social support, and find tools that facilitate communication.
For people with aphasia, the struggle to communicate creates powerful emotions, such as anger and frustration, and feelings of isolation and depression. The author, who has had aphasia for more than 25 years, calls on health care professionals to relate to people with aphasia with patience, active listening, and motivation for success.
