We had a beautiful session focusing on music and reading with the reminders to go slow, take care, and always watch out for the baobabs, courtesy of, The Little Prince. #aphasia #aphasiagroup #aphasiareading

Living with aphasia doesn’t mean living without communication. At Aphasia iCafe, we’re building a space where voices are heard—through words, gestures, tech, or support. Join us in raising awareness and sharing stories. 💬💜 #Aphasia #Support #Communication #SLT

✨ Communication is more than just speech. It's connection. It's expression. It's being seen and heard. At Aphasia iCafe, we honour every journey and every voice — however it comes through. 🫶 Let’s keep learning, listening, and lifting each other up. #Aphasia #Communication

Members Feedback Part 1: "The positivity that comes from an important social gathering is what's important to me. As well as the sense of community that comes from knowing the group you're gathering with.” #communicationGroups #aphasiagroups

Members Feedback Part 2: "You can laugh at yourself and laugh with others, but also share the difficulties with other people - people who can understand and relate to you and your difficulties." #communicationGroups #aphasiagroups

Mad Libs are a great (and funny!) way to get your creative juices flowing and use expressive language. This week we saw elephants and llamas in the garden whilst we swam! 🐘🦙🌳 #aphasia #communicationgroups #SLT

Good communication isn't just talking. It’s laughing, learning and turning the most simple of chats into a full investigation to find out more. #GoodVibes #communciation

The “I’m Noticing” game has participants share what they notice in the present moment (e.g. ”I’m noticing I feel good”)🧘 Mindfulness may boost fluency in adults with aphasia (Marshall et al, 2018; Murray and Ray, 2001)

we created a poem in one of the sessions, with each person adding one sentence. Creative expression like this can support language skills. Poetry is powerful!✨
