Topic: What does inclusive aphasia care look like? A conversation about fair and respectful treatment
Experts: Dr. Warren Brown, Dr. Teresa Gray, and Dr. Denise Mendez
Description: Everyone deserves respectful, individualized care—especially when it comes to communication challenges like aphasia. But what happens when a person with aphasia and their clinician come from different cultural or language backgrounds? In this session, we talked about what inclusive care really means and why it matters. We explore how care providers can better understand and support each person’s unique identity, culture, and experiences—so that treatment is fair, respectful, and effective for everyone.
