JOHNSON CITY, TN (Presented Aphasia, Regaining your language from a stroke to the East Tennessee State University (ETSU) Communication Support Group (ZOOM), 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, Thursday, September 19, 2019 with host, Courtney Andrews, Assistant Professor, College of Clinical & Rehabilitative Health Sciences, East Tennessee State University (ETSU).

I presented to a relatively new (but highly interested and motivated) group of ETSU Communication Support Group! Although I used the same title at my earlier presentation, the content and Q&A were completely different.

There were plenty of thought provoking questions including motivation and reflecting on past experiences leading to new demands “calling up” the motive force required, the timeline for recovery measured in years, the need to create and save the evidence in order to reflect on those activities in the future, plus it is all about journey, not the destination. It was a good aphasia day in Tennessee!
