Alex’s Story
It all started with a cup of coffee
For me it was a cup of coffee at the Aphasia Institute
I remember group discussion and coffee
It was a turning point for me
I came to the Aphasia Institute
9 months after my stroke
I was in a group and had coffee
I knew then
My new life starts NOW!
I keep looking forward toward the future
I am a member of the Aphasia Institute community
I felt the power of communication
I participate in music and art programs
In the Creative Expressions group
I was chosen to exhibit
My philosophy is:
“Try everything. Start.
Don’t sit down. Now!”
I draw with my left hand
“Help, Hope, Possible” – Ink on Paper, © 2014
Mountain with three people holding hands
I share my story and encourage others.
I give others hope
I help others see possibilities
I say . . .
“Every day is better.”
At the Aphasia Institute
The Aphasia Institute makes life better
for people with aphasia and their families
I say, it’s important to say “thank you.”
Thank you, Alex
You are an inspiration to all
