The second in our series on relationships; Ryan and Anna Teal come on to share their journey. Ryan suffered a stroke that caused apraxia and aphasia.  He and Anna have worked together as a couple to establish new communication patterns and roles within their relationship. They are a shining example of how a willingness to flexibly support each other forged them into a stronger unit that moves forward together. 

Their experiences led them to a new purpose, helping adults with aphasia.  This has led them to create Aphasia Readers, a workbook for adults looking to practice reading aloud to improve their speech. Join us in this episode to learn more about their recovery path, how they are giving back, aphasia tips, and the things that keep them strong as a couple experiencing the wake post stroke.
