Aphasia Recovery Connection

🎵 This Aphasia Awareness Month, we're sharing one of ARC's favorites — a sing-along created by people with aphasia and award-winning musician Aerolie Brighton, right here in the ARC community.

We love the words people with aphasia wanted included! This is a great reminder:

🎤 Intelligence intact — that's a fact!

Watch free on YouTube. Sing with it. Save it. Share it. 💙

🧠 IMAGINE... APHASIA AWARENESS MONTH 💙

Aphasia takes language.
It does not take:

❤️ Intelligence
❤️ Personality
❤️ Love
❤️ Humor
❤️ Dreams

The person is still there.

Aphasia changes how someone communicates.
It does not change who they are.

This June, help us change what the world knows about aphasia.

Share this post. Spread the word. 💙

You Are Not Alone. ❤️ We Are ARC.

☀️ What a beautiful Sunday together! Today our ARC family talked about something we all love — travel. ✈️

Here's what our community shared:

✅ Pack light — less is more!

✅ Ship luggage ahead if you can.

✅ Use the disability boarding line. You qualify. Use it!

🌻 Wear a sunflower lanyard — it signals an invisible disability.

💳 Carry your aphasia ID card — it helps others understand.

📸 Take photos to help with memory and navigation.

😊 Use emojis and pictures when words are hard.

Carol shared how a belt trick helps her son pull two suitcases — one-handed.

💡 Aphasia doesn't have to stop you from living your life. 💙

Aphasia Awareness Month is about more than education. 💙 It is about INCLUSION. People with aphasia deserve a seat at the table. In conversations. In decisions. In community.

Did you know? 🧠 No two people with aphasia are exactly alike.

One person may struggle to speak.

Another may struggle to read.

Another may struggle to find words.

Like a fingerprint — every experience is unique.

That is why community matters so much.

Share this to spread awareness. ➡️

We are ARC. ❤️ We are Family.

After stroke, feeling sad, anxious, or angry isn't weakness. It's your brain and your life adjusting to something enormous.

You don't have to explain it. You don't have to rush through it. You just have to know — you're not alone in it.

💙 It is a lot to cope with.

If you're in it right now, drop a 💙 below.

We see you.
