We highly recommend this book.

📚 A book written by our own ARC family. After stroke, questions come fast. What now?

Will they get better? What can I do?

Healing the Broken Brain was written to answer those questions — clearly, simply, and with real hope.

It was written by our founder, David Dow, his brother Dr. Mike Dow, and speech-language pathologist Megan Sutton.Together, they answer 100 of the most common questions about stroke recovery.

💙 What makes it special:

✅ Written by top stroke and aphasia experts

✅ Easy to read and understand
✅ Short answers with key takeaways at the end of each chapter
✅ Covers therapy, aphasia, diet, prevention — and more
✅ Made for survivors AND the people who love them

This book was born from real experience.

Because our founder David lived this journey with his family.
He couldn't find the answers he needed — so he helped write them.
Have you read it? What questions mattered most to you?

What is the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia?

Recent news of Jon Snow's Alzheimer’s diagnosis has brought an important conversation back into the spotlight.

What is the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia?

We often hear “Alzheimer’s” and “dementia” used interchangeably, but they’re not the same.

Dementia is an umbrella term for a set of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and behaviour.

It can be caused by many different diseases. These diseases affect the brain in different ways, resulting in different types of dementia.

Alzheimer’s is a specific disease in the brain and the most common cause of dementia, and most commonly affects people over 65.

Alzheimer’s can begin in the brain years before symptoms appear, and like all types of dementia, it progresses over time.

Understanding the difference matters. It helps us talk more accurately, support more effectively, and reduce stigma for the millions of people and families affected.

"Every Forget Me Not badge tells a story"

‘Every Forget Me Not badge tells a story.

‘Behind each badge, there are stories of lives devastated by dementia, of crucial support helping people navigate the huge daily challenges of life with dementia, and the researchers searching for breakthroughs.’

Our patron, Dame Judi Dench, is just one of the millions of people across the UK who have lived through the devastation of dementia.

We’re thrilled to have Dame Judi’s support as we launch this year’s Forget Me Not Appeal – a time for us all to come together and show our support for everyone affected by the UK’s biggest killer.

‘Sadly, I’ve seen first-hand how cruel dementia can be, for both the person living with the condition and their loved ones.

‘Whatever your story, please join Alzheimer’s Society this June and wear your Forget Me Not – to support people living with dementia today and bring us closer to a future where dementia no longer devastates lives.’

You can help us, and Dame Judi, change the story of dementia – comment “badge” to find out how to show your support 💙

When Your Child Stammers: What Parents Should Know

When Your Child Stammers: What Parents Should Know 😌

Many children go through periods of stammering as their language skills develop. For some, it is a temporary phase. For others, it may continue and benefit from support from a speech and language therapist.

If your child stammers:
✨ Give them time to finish what they want to say.
✨ Maintain natural eye contact and listen patiently.
✨ Focus on what they are saying, not how they are saying it.
✨ Avoid telling them to “slow down”, “take a deep breath”, or “think before you speak”.
✨ Create calm, unhurried opportunities for conversation at home.

Stammering is not caused by nervousness, poor parenting, or a lack of confidence. Children who stammer have just as many important thoughts, ideas, and stories to share.

Early support can help children develop confidence in their communication and reduce the impact stammering may have on their daily lives.

If you have concerns about your child’s speech fluency, seeking advice early can make a real difference.

💙 Every child deserves to feel heard, understood, and confident when communicating.

He just wanted to protect his son 🥺

After watching his autistic son Zachary Duncan get bullied online, Stuart Duncan decided to create a safer alternative instead of accepting the reality of toxic gaming spaces. He built a private Minecraft server called Autcraft, designed specifically to support autistic children in a calm and respectful environment.

The server is heavily moderated, focused on kindness, and structured to reduce stress and conflict. What began as a small personal solution has grown into a global community of more than 17,000 autistic children who finally have a place where they feel safe and understood.
