Ep. 21 Aphasia Relearned with Kent & Leah

In this inspiring episode of When Words Don't Come Easy, Justin and Roger sit down with Kent and Leah, the founders of Aphasia ReLearned, a nonprofit dedicated to helping stroke survivors and people with aphasia access life changing intensive therapy programs. Kent shares his remarkable recovery journey, from struggling to say his children's names after his stroke to continuing to improve through intensive aphasia programs. Leah discusses how their experience inspired them to create Aphasia ReLearned and advocate for greater access to treatment. Together, they explore why intensive comprehensive aphasia programs can be so effective, the financial barriers many families face, and their mission to help more people receive the therapy they need. The conversation highlights hope, neuroplasticity, perseverance, and the belief that recovery can continue long after a stroke. Intensive aphasia programs are designed to provide concentrated, evidence based therapy that helps people improve communication skills and participation in everyday life. Whether you're a stroke survivor, caregiver, clinician, or someone looking for hope on the recovery journey, this episode offers powerful insight into what's possible when people refuse to give up. https://www.aphasiarelearned.org/ https://www.instagram.com/aphasiarelearnedorg/ https://www.aphasiarelearned.org/giving-page-2-1 #Aphasia #AphasiaAwareness #Stroke #StrokeRecovery #StrokeSurvivor #StrokeAwareness #SpeechTherapy #Neuroplasticity #BrainInjury #CommunicationRecovery #AphasiaReLearned #AphasiaAdvocate #StrokeSupport #CaregiverSupport #HopeAfterStroke #RecoveryJourney #DisabilityAwareness #BrainHealth #WhenWordsDontComeEasy #Podcast #HealthPodcast #Inspiration #Rehabilitation #SpeechLanguagePathology #SLP
