Aphasia Communication Exercises - Skills for Successful Communication

In this video, Reem, a Great Speech therapist, covers how to effectively communicate with individuals who have aphasia, a condition that affects a person’s ability to speak, understand, write, and read.

Caregivers and friends play a crucial role in effectively communicating with those with aphasia.

By developing key communication skills such as establishing a topic, listening patiently, using simpler language, and providing periodic paraphrasing, you give those with aphasia the chance to successfully express themselves.

We aim to facilitate successful interactions as you and your loved ones navigate aphasia speech therapy.
