This episode discusses the why of holiday inclusion, outlining the common pain points associated with the holidays for persons with aphasia. The next three episodes will break down insights from three people with differing levels of aphasia and one with a speech impairment that impacts the quality of their speech.

Learning about the perspective of a person with aphasia will motivate you to consider how you approach and plan the holidays. Each episode will provide information with action strategies and steps you can take to make your holidays aphasia-inclusive.
