Everyday Activities

Life doesn’t pause for aphasia—and everyday moments like going to the store, visiting the doctor, or attending a family event can feel overwhelming without the right support. This section is designed to offer practical, real-world guidance to help people with aphasia—and their families—prepare for and participate in everyday life with greater confidence and ease.

Each guide includes clear expectations, preparation tips, supported communication strategies, NAA partner resources, and caregiver suggestions, all in an accessible, consistent format. Whether navigating a routine outing or a high-stress situation, these resources are meant to reduce frustration and promote independence.

Also, the Aphasia Recovery Connection has a wonderful set of printable Talk Tools” that you can use for situations like these!
