🌟 Let’s talk about LPAA Core Value #5 with Aphasia Access Member Lauren Schwabish, M.S., CCC-SLP

Emphasis is on availability of services as needed at all stages of aphasia.

The acute phase of aphasia—the days, weeks, and months after a stroke or brain injury— is not the only opportunity for someone to receive services that enhance life participation. Those living with chronic aphasia will inevitably have new goals or challenges that require support, and participation-centered interventions are critical to maintain a high quality of life in meaningful contexts.
