COVID-19 Aphasia-Friendly Resources
We believe in improving communicative accessibility for individuals with aphasia and other communication disorders.
One of our SLPs has created aphasia-friendly resources to help individuals with aphasia who want to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
These materials allow someone with aphasia to understand the questions being asked, know how to prepare for your appointment, and help you to respond independently.
Imagine going to your vaccination appointment and there was no accessible parking, no push buttons, and no elevator to get to the vaccine clinic. We are very aware of physical accessibility but what about communication accessibility?
Consider these "communication ramps" and help spread the word.
