This is an extraordinary podcast for those new to aphasia and for seasoned clinicians and people living with aphasia! These three remarkable leaders show us once again how they have guided us with the clarity of their understanding of what it means to participate in life...and how we must all commit to making that participation available to persons with aphasia. Thank you.
