Nobody teaches you how to communicate after everything changes. Not with your person, not for yourself. You just figure it out as you go, usually after something already went sideways.

This full webinar with AGE of Central Texas covers both.

Genevieve walks through the EASE framework, a four-step check you run before any conversation with your person.

Environment. Attention. Simplify. Emotion.

Takes a few seconds, and makes a real difference.

She also covers the Stoplight System. It's how you handle all the requests, phone calls, and decisions that land on your plate when you are the one holding everything together. Red. Yellow. Green. You get to decide.

The Q&A at the end is worth staying for!

Nobody taught you how to talk to your person after everything changed. And nobody taught you how to speak up for yourself either. This episode covers both. Genevieve Richardson, MS CCC-SLP, walks care partners through two practical frameworks you can start using today. The first is EASE, a four-poin...

Mornings are better. Afternoons often fall apart.

You are not imagining it and it is not getting worse. There is a brain-based reason this happens, and once you understand it, the whole day looks different.

"Just be patient." The most common advice given to care partners, and the least useful.

Patience without understanding is just endurance, and you deserve more than that.

Catch me LIVE on the Stroke Buddies YouTube Channel, Tuesday 6/16 at 11AM Eastern Time.

We're talking about how a stroke changes communication whether or not aphasia is part of the picture. When the brain is recovering, every conversation is different, and most families are left figuring that out on their own. EASE is a four-point framework that works from either side of the conversation, giving both the stroke survivor and their care partner something concrete to use today.

Nine years ago, Michelle Clemons was given 1% odds. Three brain surgeries. Aphasia. Apraxia. Somewhere around month 12, like everyone else, she probably felt like she'd recovered as much as she was going to. And then she kept going. And went and went. Nine years in, she's still improving. Still working. Still living a life that proves something most people never hear: recovery doesn't end when the doctors say it does.

This episode is for the professional with aphasia who thinks he's done recovering. Who feels like recovery peaked and now he's managing maintenance. Who wonders if this is as good as it gets. Michelle is the living proof that it isn't.

In 30 years working with people with aphasia and their families, I have heard the these myths over and over. From neighbors, from in-laws, from people who love your family and still get it wrong.

Here they are, and the truth that should have come with the discharge papers.

What other aphasia myths do you hear? Tell me in the comments!
