Olivia O'Hare's Mission: Uniting Voices for Aphasia Awareness

There's a lot of awareness about physical disability that's visible. But is there a lack of awareness about, for lack of a better term, invisible disability and how we support people that are experiencing things like communication issues?
Ever wondered how music can help stroke survivors find their voice again? In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', speech pathologist Olivia O'Hare shares the story behind her annual event, A Night For Aphasia. Olivia's passion is contagious as she talks about the invisible struggle of aphasia—a condition that affects communication abilities—and how her event aims to shine a light on it.
You'll hear about the transformative power of melodic intonation therapy, where music becomes a bridge to speech for those with aphasia. Olivia also emphasizes the importance of supporting not just the individuals but their entire support network. It's not just about therapy; it's about creating a community where everyone feels understood and supported. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to join Olivia in her mission to educate and unite people around aphasia.
Whether you're a stroke survivor, caregiver, or just someone interested in making a difference, this conversation offers valuable insights and inspiration. Don't miss out on learning how you can be part of this incredible initiative.
