June is Aphasia Awareness Month

June is Aphasia Awareness Month. For the past twenty years or so, this month in North America has been dedicated to promoting a greater knowledge base among the general public as well as the non-CNS professional community about what aphasia is and about the different medical conditions that might result in aphasia. If you are a clinician or researcher engaged in aphasia-related work of one type or another, this might be a good month to consider a public community talk, an in-service presentation, or a media piece about aphasia. Here is a media piece I wrote back in 2003 during Aphasia Awareness Month: http://www.tmc.edu/tmcnews/06_01_03/page_24.html.
