Jan has #Aphasia a #languagedisorder caused by a #stroke in her case. Aphasia affects her #speech , #writing & #reading This is an example of not understanding a written sentence. Jan can often identify a keyword & make a guess, but she was stuck here. Once she hears the sentence it makes sense💜

If you haven't met Jan before, here she is explaining #Aphasia in her own words. This video has been seen thousands of times on other platforms💜Jan had a #stroke 20yrs ago when she was just 46. For the 1st year post stroke she had no words at all. She is very skilled at using #TotalCommunication 💜
