Aphasia Speaks
A podcast focused on all things related to Aphasia. In this series, our host, Dr. Sara Pillay, will interview individuals with aphasia, individuals in a supportive role, researchers, clinicians, and therapists to provide a well-rounded overview of what aphasia is, how it impacts others, and how research is used to learn about and treat the disorder.
