June is #aphasia awareness month. One of the hardest things in any conversation is to allow periods of silence. We are all tempted to avoid awkwardness by filling those silences. But people with aphasia often need processing time and word finding time. It’s okay to wait.

It's great to hear you sharing your experience of #Aphasia Heidi. Thank you for helping to raise #Aphasia Awareness during June. #Aphasia AwarenessMonth
