Aphasia can affect how someone communicates, but the things we want to talk about in everyday life don’t change.

In Aphasia Duo, the ‘My Life’ grid sets are designed to support conversations about the things that matter most - from people and places to daily routines, interests and experiences.

This carousel takes you through some of the key areas, showing how communication can be supported in real, meaningful contexts.

Because communication is about more than words - it’s about staying connected to the world around us.

When people think about AAC and aphasia, there's often an assumption that a communication device is only useful if someone can use it independently.

But communication is rarely that straightforward.

People with aphasia may use a combination of gesture, speech, facial expression, drawing, writing and AAC to share their message. Some people also benefit from support from communication partners.

Speech and Language Therapists, Kate Laws and Kate Reader, from ATtherapy explore why broadening our understanding of AAC can create more opportunities for people with aphasia to participate in conversations, maintain relationships and communicate in ways that work for them.
