A chat with Angie, a 7year stroke survivor, about living with aphasia.
Aphasia is a language impairment that can result from stroke.
It impacts speech, understanding, reading, and writing, and can be mild, moderate, or severe.
Aphasia from stroke or other brain injury can improve with time, treatment, and determination.
