Aphasia may not be a familiar word for many but it IS a common condition which affects many brain injury survivors.
So what is aphasia and how can it be improved?
In this episode, Elizabeth and Julia are joined by Professor Alex Leff who explains more about the condition which impacts language and how it affects lives.
He gives advice on how carers can help survivors, ways to get further therapy and he dispels some of the myths surrounding aphasia, including improvements made over time.
His intensive aphasia programme, funded by The National Brain Appeal, has seen significant outcomes with survivors improving months, years and even decades after having a brain injury.
Listen to this episode to learn more about aphasia and how to help people living with it.
