Raising awareness of Aphasia
"We are based in Norfolk (UK) and our aim is to help improve communication difficulties for local people with aphasia by raising public awareness of aphasia. The reason we are here is because there is no known local group tackling this consisting of people with aphasia, their carers, local Speech Therapists and members of the local Stroke Association all working together in a common cause, to raise awareness of aphasia".

More than a quarter of a million people in the UK have problems with speaking, reading, writing or understanding language.
This communication disability is caused by damage to the language centres of the brain. It can come as the result of a stroke, head injury, brain tumour or other neurological illness. It should be noted that intellect is rarely affected.
The medical term for this is Aphasia (or Dysphasia).
Speakability is the national charity dedicated to supporting and empowering people with Aphasia and their carers.
