What is APHASIA?

Like many, I’d never heard the word until someone I knew had it. I was 14, sitting in my dad’s hospital room after he experienced a massive stroke, when I first heard the word “aphasia”.

This is how I explain aphasia to others. If this video helps you understand, please share it and spread awareness of APHASIA.
