Overview:
This DVD meshes content about YDAC's programs and history with personal insights from clients, caregivers and volunteers.
As you view this DVD, you will be impressed by courage, openness, tenacity, but always a deep sense of loss and change. Please remember when screening the DVD with people new to this issue that potentially painful feelings may be stirred at the same time as you are giving information and hope.
The York-Durham Aphasia Centre (YDAC) expresses our deep appreciation to our clients and caregivers who have shared their experiences living with the reality of aphasia, a profound change in communication caused by stroke, brain injury or illness. |
