- That African-Americans are more impacted by STROKE than any other racial group in the U.S.?
- That 40% of STROKE survivors have aphasia-a language disorder that affects one’s ability to communicate, but does not affect one’s intellect?
- That there is a place of help and hope for people with aphasia and their families in Bergen County?
Aphasia is a language disorder that impairs the expression and understanding of spoken language, reading, and writing. It occurs most often from a stroke or brain injury. This frustrating condition affects a person’s ability to communicate, but does not affect his or her intellect.
