Aphasia Community Friendship Center

Happy Friday from ACFC 🔅

Shoutout to our fantastic volunteer .hinkson for leading an engaging BINGO game as our conversation activity today!

BINGO is an excellent tool for speech practice — it involves comprehending what is called, scanning the card, selecting the correct square, and learning about one another’s experiences!

Next session: Friday April 7th in person or over Zoom 10:30-1:30 p.m! DM for information!

Beautiful day of supportive conversation at ACFC!

We had an early Valentine’s Day celebration with trivia and an art therapy session! We also welcomed Joe Iovino over Zoom to speak about his book that implements art and words to help describe aphasia. Stay tuned about a possible virtual meet and greet between ACFC and !

Art and Aphasia: creative art is a tool for repairing neural networks, and a medium that transcends verbal language and stimulates conversation!

Did you know that activation of the right hemisphere linked with the practice of the visual arts can promote language recovery?
