We had a great meeting this week!

June 3rd Recap:

-We started off with a recap of the Clinical Aphasiology Conference (CAC)!
-We then shared some updates/reminders:
• Update 1 - Our Aphasia Awareness Celebration Potluck is on June 24th from 10:30 am-12:30 pm.
Link to potluck sign-up: Potluck Sign Up 6.24.26 - Google Sheets

• Topic Group: We began planning games and potluck details for our Aphasia Awareness Celebration on June 24th! We discussed things such as “My Aphasia Tip” to share tips for communication success and what you’d like to see to improve for people with aphasia in the future.
• Game Group: Our game group this week played Telestrations! Telestrations is a hilarious game that combines telephone and Pictionary. Players start by writing down a word or phrase, then the next player draws it, the following player guesses what the drawing is, and so on. Members had fun taking turns trying to keep the message going around the table!
• Open Conversation Group

Join us next week, Wednesday, June 10th, where we will hear from SLP PhD Students Emily Goldberg and Mara Goodman!!
