E18: Isolated but not Alone - How BU Aphasia Resource Center Helps Combat Aphasia

This episode provides a conversation with Jerome Kaplan, a Speech Language Pathologist at Sargent College, on the common misunderstandings of aphasia, and how the Aphasia Resource Center at Boston University can help.  He has been active in Aphasia Resource Center since 2006. About Aphasia Resource Center:  Step inside the Aphasia Resource Center at Sargent College. You’ll sense very quickly that we are truly a community—individuals with aphasia, their families and friends interacting with clinicians, researchers and students. We provide a place not only for learning to live with aphasia but also for sharing experiences with others touched by the disorder. Since 2006, we’ve offered an expanding mix of resources for aphasia therapy, support, socialization, education and advocacy. The moderator of the podcast is Dr. Karen Jacobs ([email protected]), who is the Associate Dean, Digital Learning and Innovation, a Clinical Professor and the Program Director for the on-line post-professional doctorate in the occupational therapy program at Sargent College. Marial Williams ([email protected]), a Boston University entry-level occupational therapy doctoral student, composed the music for the podcast.
