With the story of Senator Gabrielle Gifford's recovery continuing, Nightline had a special earlier this week focusing on her progression with her "speech". I am happy to say they specifically talked about "expressive aphasia" and gave details of how it affects an individual. I have blogged before about how rare it is to hear the word "aphasia" in the media even though it is so prevalent. I am thankful to them for the education they provided to increase the awareness of this condition. You can see the story in full at http://abcnews.go.com/Health/w_MindBodyNews/gabby-giffords-finding-voice-music-therapy/story?id=14903987.
Her progress is amazing! I hope it gives great hope to others in similar situations.
