The National Aphasia Association celebrated Aphasia Awareness Month in a brand new way for June of 2026. The NAA Speech Bubble Tour was a month-long, nationwide adventure designed to bring aphasia awareness to communities across the country.
30 Stops in 30 Days
Every day of June, the NAA Speech Bubble made a stop in a different location. Each morning, we shared a photo of the NAA Speech Bubble in a “mystery” location on social media. Using the photo and three clues, our community guessed where the NAA Speech Bubble might be. In the evening a video revealed where it was, and we got to meet aphasia advocates – both individuals and organizations – around the country!

Although the “official” tour is over, you can still go back and view all of the photos and videos on our social media accounts:

Continuing the Conversation
Aphasia Awareness doesn’t end in June! Here are some ways to continue the conversation about aphasia:
- We want to see where YOU are! Print out your own NAA Speech Bubble and share a photo or video of you with it in your local community. Be sure to tag the NAA so we see it and can share it!
- Promote Aphasia A-WEAR-Ness: Buy and wear our limited-time NAA Speech Bubble Tour “Ask Me About Aphasia” shirt from our Marketplace.
- Check out the Aphasia Awareness Month Proclamations our advocates obtained this year
- Select an aphasia awareness activity from our NAA Ambassador Engagement Menu
- Consider becoming a volunteer NAA Ambassador to more actively participate in aphasia awareness, advocacy, and peer support activities.
A big thank you to everyone who participated in the NAA Speech Bubble tour this year! And to all of our aphasia advocates out there – THANK YOU! Any action, whether big or small, makes a difference in aphasia awareness.
