June is Aphasia Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on a language disorder that affects more than 2 million Americans. Aphasia can impact speaking, writing, reading, and understanding language, often following a stroke or brain injury. Yet despite its prevalence, nearly 85% of Americans have never heard of it. It’s important to remember that aphasia affects communication—not intelligence.
You can help raise awareness by wearing purple, sharing stories and facts on social media, supporting local education efforts, or donating to organizations that serve the aphasia community. Together, we can foster understanding, support those living with aphasia, and help more people find their voice.
